Hello all,

I was considering going digital with outdoor sketching. However I only have now a desktop computer. Is there some hardware some of you have been using and that you recommend ? I see there's a “tablet” version of krita, but I don't know on which machines it was been tested with. I'd rather not buy an apple or a android golden cage though.

Thank you for any suggestions,

Krita doesn't run on Android or iOS in any case. Krita Gemini will be replaced soon by the ordinary desktop version, which now comes with a special docker for touch systems. The best bet would be something like a Lenovo Yoga or a Surpface Pro: Windows systems that are very portable and come with fairly bright screens. Even so, outdoors working working on a screen usually is a bit of a pain because the sun outshines the brightest screen.

Thanks for the answer !

Well outdoor sketching with actual sketchbooks is a pain after sunset, but should be a true pleasure with a tablet. I know some artists who do it and it seems awesome !

On those laptop that can be used as tablet I've just discovered the laptop-and-tablet that runs on linux https://puri.sm/shop/librem-11 ? Has anyone ever try this one out ?

No... That one isn't available yet, it's in the pre-order stage.
