Something ive been wanting for a while is a highly portable linux device like a phone or small tablet but obviously running fully flegde linux.
I need a device that is x86, 5g/4g networking water resistant if possible, sliding kB would be great but thats a bye gone era.
I don't want to use android based systems as when they have linux support it is via a spersific distribution made for that device. Virtualization is also not for me.
Linux tablets are just hitting the market, so finding a native Linux tablet that suits all your needs might be wishful thinking. Juno Tablet is probably your best bet right now. Otherwise, you might need to settle for installing linux on MS Surface or similar device.
