migration to wayland from x11? for waydroid
Idk, I just followed the instructions and it works. I did it on my frame.work laptop and on my 10 year old desktop made out of literal trash and it works fine in both cases.

A Framework Laptop Hacking Story
I bought a Framework Laptop a few months ago. I was really drawn to the idea of a laptop that I could customize and which was built with repairability in mind. That's a really great stance to take, and it didn't hurt that the laptop build and specs looked good, so I went for it. It was also cool that I could buy it with no memory, no hard drive, no power adapter, and no operating system, and supply those things separately. In general I was very happy with it, but it had one little behavior that bugged me. This is a long journey, but I hope it contains some useful information.

How I feel about framework
a small startup currently focusing on upgradeable laptops, see https://frame.work

Laptops with best Linux support (latest gen, battery life, performance)?
I looked at frame.work, but I don't want to preorder in a batch. So, I think we're looking in the right areas and I wouldn't stray into other brands because nothing tops the XPS build quality.

Help me choose my new laptop
Honestly if gaming is not much of a concern and you are happy to upgrade in 2-3 years again, MacBook Air will be fine. But if you have that much money to spend I’d recommend framework laptops. Since even iGPUs these days can handle most CAD software as long as it’s not too heavy project work and rendering etc. plus framework gives great upgrade pathway. https://frame.work
Honestly the only laptop I've seen that i would personally buy is the framework laptop especially with the 16" one coming soon with a GPU. Not a great choice for OP though since the 16" is still a few months from release iirc.

Is this sub going dark on the 12th?
Framework has frame.work, its own forums, and other ways to communicate to its customers and base.

Notes on My Remarkable Tablet
Apart from camera, almost everything is working correctly. Camera doesn't work at all.
https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface
I use this kernel, you can use this with most operating systems.
I use xournal++ for note writing, and using GNOME is necessary. KDE doesn't have support for screen rotation etc. When you use GNOME, make sure to disable gestures and screen edge detection, because that might occasionally cause problems.
So, the workflow is quite simple with xournal++, you run a `inotify` based watched which automatically compiles and pushes stuff on every save. I of course assume that only `xournal++` on tab can change those handwritten notes. You can get some fancier git logic if needed.
```

Should have you covered.
I went the 12” MacBook route which can also install Linux.

New Linux Tablet from Star Labs
I have a surface with Ubuntu and the Surface Kernel (https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface) , and it works really wonderfully. I will say, before installing the Surface Kernel, it was very janky.
interesting because I have been running archlinux on a surface pro 7 and it works flawlessly appart from the camera. I use the linux-surface kernel, instructions can be found here: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installa.... Highly recommend it!

The nvidia proprietary driver sets this anyway after installation. This fixes the issue of KDE Wayland often times freezing on first login before nvidia proprietary drivers are installed. latest mesa release version provided for AMD/Intel desktop/GL drivers, mesa-git vulkan drivers provided for latest vulkan fixes/updates, built and updated regularly (every few weeks to a month on average) glibc patched with clone3 disabled (fixes CEF compatibility in applications using outdated CEF such as Discord, Steam beta) glibc patched with broken commits reverted to allow EasyAntiCheat to work for Rogue Company dnf max parallel downloads increased to 6 gst-editing-services disabled — causes WINE to hang when creating new prefixes lspci symlink from /usr/sbin/lspci to /usr/bin/lspci for Dying Light: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/2766/post_id=17381 ‘nobara-controller-config’ package provided for easy installation of xone and xpadneo drivers and firmware. gnome variable refresh rate patches added for mutter: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1154 gnome mutter check-alive-timeout increased from 5 seconds to 30 seconds. This is the amount of time gnome waits before trying to determine if an application is not responding. At 5 seconds it almost immediately triggers for league of legends (and some other applications) if those applications are still in the loading phase. We feel 30 seconds is a much more reasonable wait time. gnome mutter patched with x11 fractional scaling: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/mutter/-/raw/ubuntu/master/debian/patches/ubuntu/x11-Add-support-for-fractional-scaling-using-Randr.patch gnome mutter wayland and x11 fractional scaling enabled by default: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HiDPI#Fractional_scaling gnome shell patched with https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2358 to allow gnome-extension-manager to auto-update without needing gnome-extension-app installed.
