All of my hardware is outdated so I was about to make the jump to Apple all across the board. Now I’m probably going to dive into the deep end and go into FOSS full throttle. I’m going to investigate Linux OEM vendors tonigh. The only one that I know of is System 76. Are there any Linux based iPad competitors?

That's a great question. I keep looking for Linux tablets but not much joy so far. The Pinetab is unavailable and pretty slow.

If I had to guess, I'd hunt around for a Windows tablet that someone had good luck running Linux on. Maybe a Surface Pro.

Thinkpads also run Linux very well. I've got an X1 Carbon 7th gen running Pop!_OS, and everything on the machine works, including the fancy microphones on top (haven't tried the fingerprint reader though).
