My wife is looking for a portable device primarily for modeling in Blender and optionally for drawing in Krita. So we looking for something with a GNU/Linux support from manufacturer.

We considered https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-InfinityFlex-14-Gen1, it looks nice, but maybe you have other suggestions? Do you have experience with convertibles, how convenient is to draw on them?

We also considered https://earth.starlabs.systems/pages/starlite for drawing and a separate device for Blender, but having two devices might not be convenient…

    Thanks for the suggestion, eGPU sounds nice!

    We don’t planning to actually work on the go, just planning to travel a lot. eGPU could be considered portable. Maybe we even don’t need a laptop, just a mini PC 🤔

      Bit of a joke suggestion but purely hardware wise steam deck might do the trick, its graphics processing is very good considering the size and lack of discrete GPU

      Plugged into a keyboard and possibly monitor could do the trick
