Are there any tablets with a camera around 8” (20cm) that can run Linux?

    @danirabbit@mastodon.online at least looking at Nura's devices section, things look dire: https://wiki.nura.eco/wiki/Devices#Testing most of the supported devices, even partially supported ones, are mostly around 10", if that's not too big for you you might want to take a look at the Xiaomi Pad 6 for a device that's not ancient and works: https://wiki.nura.eco/wiki/Xiaomi_Pad_6_(xiaomi-pipa)

  • @danirabbit@mastodon.online the Surface Go series comes pretty close! you can find them used online for decently cheap. linux camera support works through generation 3 (not 4 yet), and may require the dedicated surface kernel (they leave that ambiguous).

    @danirabbit@mastodon.online I think all the devices listed in PostMarket are bigger since they tend to be convertibles 😕
