I got the Pixel Tablet. But, if you're in the market today, you may want to take a look at the Framework 2 in 1

Omnivore Alternatives? [SOLVED FOR ME] in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Take a look at Linkding. Run the latest-plus version to archive pages and get reader mode features. You can use Linkdy as the Android app for it. I'm unsure about the RSS features though.

I think a separate FreshRSS container would be better for that though, and you can use ReadYou as the Android app.

I see the same thing when using the Forge tiling extension in Gnome.

type the distro you use and is and let your keyboard finish it in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Fedora is a good choice for this use case and I would recommend it for the use case of the Linux ecosystem.

Background in biology and insurance - major career transition but yes, I love self-hosting! Have about 37 services running!

They've redefined privacy to be privacy from everyone except themselves, and then indoctrinated people that they are the most privacy conscious company.

Is waiting for the Pixel Tablet 2 my only option? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm looking for a tablet to last me at least 4-5 years doing -

  • Reading via Linkding, Audiobookshelf and Kavita
  • Note taking via Notesnook
  • Light media streaming via Jellyfin

I've been looking forward to the Google Pixel Tablet 2 to put "The OS that must not be named" on it and have a highly privacy respecting device. The current Pixel tablet just has a lot of drawbacks - support timeline is limited, speakers aren't good, display is mehh etc. But of course Google didn't announce the new tablet, most likely putting it off until next year.

I've considered a few options -

  • iPad Air - don't have an Apple account, and frankly don't want to get into their ecosystem in general.
  • Surface Go - Unavailable in the UK and the kernel required has some missing features as well.
  • Generic Android tablets from Samsung, Lenovo etc - Don't want a device where I can't fully control what the OS is doing, and I've used LineageOS, and didn't really like it.
  • Generic Windows tablets from Dell, Lenovo etc - Is Linux really ready for a tablet use case? I'm not really sure about this. Will I have proper driver and hardware support here?
  • Linux tablets such as Pinetab, Starlite etc - These seem to be woefully underpowered and underspec.

So is my only real option to wait until May of 2025 for a Google Pixel Tablet 2? I'd love some input for this dilemma. Thanks!
