I’m daily driving a yoga x380 and am really happy. Using the pen for quick notes on my professors slides. I use Zorin and Win10 in dual boot but only really use Zorin. Only thing that doesn’t work on Zorin is the HDMI port but I didn’t really bother to trouble shoot.
/e/OS - I bought a cheap Poco X3 pro, that was probably cheap because they show ads inside the OS. So now I got to have a cheap phone that’s also private and fast (a friend bought the same phone, no custom ROM, and now complains about it being slow)
As someone who is writing with a pen I use “write”. I think you can also type on a keyboard but moving things around as you want is definitely possible.
