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.

Consider giving devices offered by NovaCustom a look.
When it comes to Linux-first laptop vendors, it's definitely my favorite out of the bunch.
On purchasing one of their devices, they offer:
I'm simply unaware of any other (Linux-first) firm that can compete regarding the above.
And I haven't even mentioned how vast their customization options are, or how well-praised their support is.
I'm actually stunned why it's not mentioned more often in these conversations.
Btw, I'd actually recommend you to consider the whereabouts of the respective support centers before you buy a device. You never hope to be in that situation, but it makes a real difference when it matters. So, in case you're unaware, AFAIK:
First time hear about it, but sounds very cool!
Totally agree, I take this into consideration. Tuxedo is very attractive to me because we planning to visit Germany personally. But I will take a look at NovaCustom as well since it's in EU.
From Star Labs their StarLite tablet looks very attractive. Right now I considering buying a tablet for drawing and a laptop for 3D modeling instead of 2-in-1.
Honestly, this makes a lot of sense. It's unfortunate that all of your needs aren't satisfied by a single device. Assuming that the drawing capabilities of the Starlite and Infinityflex are up to par, their hardware specs don't come even close to Blender's recommended. So opting for a second device may indeed be necessary.
Whatever you'll end up picking, I hope you and your wife will be satisfied with the end result 😉!
