This is why my next tech purchase will be a Raspberry Pi 5 and a Wacom One 13" touch screen --- my testing with a Raspberry Pi 4 and Wacom One (gen 1, no touch) went well, so I'm hopeful that this will work as well.

It would be nice to use some totally open firmware, but that's a big swing in terms of finance relative to the inexpensiveness of the rPi.

That said, I believe I can live with:

If someone would make a decent tablet with opensource underpinnings and Wacom EMR, I'd be glad to consider it.

Nevermind open firmware, just ask for an ecosystem that isn't completely controlled by one company named Broadcom.

Broadcom Pi.

It's called Broadcom Pi.

The fruit names are just a naked attempt at BigTech-laundering.

At least it's a company which will allow alternative OSs.

I'm still quite annoyed that I set aside and stopped using my Samsung Galaxy Book 12 because I couldn't figure out how to get it to boot something other than Windows.
