So about 2 months ago I made this post about looking for an iPad replacement that runs Linux. I said I wasn’t in a rush, but after thinking about it ever since and seeing the Minisforum V3 go on sale for just $1000, I pulled the trigger.

My impressions are still very new (I have used it for a total of 2 hours at this point), but I’m super happy so far. Installed Fedora 40 and almost everything works out of the box (including a Wacom MPP stylus). As mudkip mentioned in this blog, the volume buttons don’t work when the keyboard is detached and auto-rotation doesn’t work. The former isn’t a big deal and the latter doesn’t affect me in the slightest, but I can confirm those issues are still present on a stock Fedora install.

Anyway, there’s not a lot of information about this tablet running Linux out there, is there anything anyone wants me to test or any questions I can answer?

      Really good, but I did have to remove the screen protector as I was getting line jitter with it on.

      Palm rejection is better than I expected but not as good as an iPad.

      I’ve been using a Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus. Pressure sensitivity and stuff works out of the box, no additional drivers needed or anything.

      Krita is excellent.
