From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet works with postmarketos (mobile Linux), keep in mind considering your price range and considering its a tablet you're lucky to get 4gb of ram at most.
duet 3i or the ARM versions only?
Not sure
not a problem, im only gonna be using it as a kind of "dumb terminal" anyway
At that point you wouldn't benefit much from the tablet features, have you considered getting a tiny laptop (I can recommend a few)?
no matter how tiny, no laptop is more portable than a tablet
Yeah but they won't be as locked down and have better specs, there are pocket sized laptops if that's what you want. It won't be more portable but it'll be equvilant.
specs aren't really that important tbh and i think a laptop will always be bulkier than a device with no keyboard. but i'm accepting recommendations anyway
I checked, if you insist on a tablet your best option is going with an older microsoft surface tablet.
