What is the best degoogled tablet for an artist

what is the best tablet for iodeOS, GrapheneOS and LineageOS

  • with smooth stylus support that is as good as apple pen
    • palm rejection
    • pressure sensitive stylus
    • works well for krita / excalidraw / xournalapp
    • latency
  • at least 16GB RAM and 256GB storage

For iodeOS, it doesn't seem to support any tablet device officially


For GrapheneOS, the only choice is google pixel tablet (or maybe pixel fold). However


For LineageOS

  • What tablet+stylus+LineageOS has the best performance?
  • What tablet+stylus+LineageOS has the best balance between price and performance?
  • Can someone share their stylus experience on krita / excalidraw / xournalapp?

Sincere thanks

EDIT:

  • ipad
    • I realize my title is confusing, when I say degoogle I really meant completely Open Source and private.
    • ipad with network disabled?
      • not feasible in my use case
      • apple backdoor is highly likely in my opnion
      • Of course I don't have any proof, but I would assume it runs camera and microphone without us knowing even when the network is disabled. The data is collected and processed locally and send to apple server when network is enabled
        • speech recognition is integrated in many app and sold to advertiser
        • I doubt apple could resist the temptation of money and the threat from government not to activate microphone and camera without us knowing
    • apple is as disgusting as google
  • but of course if this is the only choice ...

Apple is the least bad + most functional option out there.

Nothing else will go further in being least bad, unless you are willing to completely sacrifice functionality and usability.

Apple at least walks the walk of protecting user privacy because they aren’t dependent on non-hardware, non-app-store revenue (as in, selling user’s data). Google is absolutely dependent on revenue from selling user data because their hardware and App Store revenue is almost insignificant in comparison.
