Dang it. Thanks for the update!

Thank you so much for your time. The amount of effort in your response is amazing and rich with details!

Sounds like it's a bust to use terminal on a tablet. Damn.

I was looking at Lenovo and this is good input. It sounds like everyone is not a fan of the tablet keyboard and the terminal is straight bollocks no matter the distro. I keep hearing Fedora and Wayland. I'm going to have to learn about them a bit more.

I have been on Lemmy for awhile and this post has been the one to gain the most traction. Thank you, this helps even further. I scratched the surface of immutable and this further dissects it into deeper "categories". My first thought is that, if I didn't know about immutable distros in the first place (aside from the meaning of the term), I probably wouldn't know what I'm missing or gaining.

My uses for Linux will grow across 3 categories.

1. Business and office work. Mainly spreadsheets, documents, presentations, and virtual meetings

2. 3D Design, 3D Printing, bitmap and vector graphics editing, coding, and retro video game development

3. Streaming via OBS, ATEM, webcam, HDMI capture, and various USB inputs and devices.

I have tried building machines on non-tablets and have got 80% of the way there with all 3. The tablet has me 100% with 1 & 2. This all gives me a greater understanding that helps me avoid and research more into the options based on needs.

Yeah, me too. It just works!

Xournal++ is amazing! It's really the reason a Linux tablet will work for me. I also appreciate using GB Studio and Aseprite with the pen. Makes retro game developing a lot more fun!

I hate that this post caused a fight here. I appreciate feedback and learning.

If I'm taking something away from this exchange is that immutable distros are a thing I need to understand better. In a way you are both helping me see some other aspects I haven't considered. If I were to go immutable there are some limits on what I can do, though there are some benefits in terms of security and app containerization. Based on some quick research immutable distros have been around but honestly I didn't really know any details. On the other hand it sounds like Ubuntu pushes packages my way and I might want want to explore so other options.

Thanks for the insights and I plan to do a lot more research on how I might proceed. I may have it working on one device, but adopting what is right for my workflow and needs is going to take some more effort. Best.

Thanks for these insights. From my laymen experience with Linux, I am a bit fuzzy on all the distros and variants. What's the major difference between Ubuntu (or whatever distro) and what you described? From your perspective

What changed to make it happen? I am so done with other OS and Linux does everything I need. I really need to learn more about what's happening and how to better use it so I can further customize and configure.
