So far I found Archos a french company which seems to be more on the budget side and Volla a German company with one higher end tablet.

The Volla Tablet looks pretty cool. 12 GB RAM and dual boot of a degoogled Android and Ubuntu Touch. 700 for the tablet plus 150 for a folding keyboard, plus 50 for the pen.

Sadly the pen doesnโ€™t work with Ubuntu Touch. Otherwise this might be a nice machine for painting with Krita.ย 

The display cleaner is cute and lovely. I might just get that and use it with my other machines ย

    At the moment, this would be the frontrunner. But, it has been on the market for ~a year and they only guarantee "at least 5 years" of software updates. So for the price and with sustainability in mind this seems a very short time. I have to contact them for more information...

    Special entry for murena, they are not producing anything but they sell degoogeled stuff from european companys (Fairphone, Shiftphone and Volla). Although, this does not make a whole lot of sense for Volla because they already have two google free operating systems (one based on android).

    I wish Fairphone would do one. And a watch.

    Does Volla really have no mention anywhere of how long there will be upgrades?

    Perhaps reMarkable? It's a Norwegian company.

    Alternatively; StarLite, from StarLabs, a UK company.

    Nokia / HMD tablets are trash. Like literally trash. I had the T20 and T21 as my company needed a ton for the workers in the field. We moved away from them ASAP. They are extremely slow and full of bugs. Avoid at all costs.

    Just to ask, is it important to be European, or is it enough to be non-american?

    I mean... Samsung is a South Korean company and has great tablets. Software will be American whatever device you buy.
