I am considering getting a tablet to use on the go. But I also would like to use it in conjunction with my Laptop and Desktop PC, both running Ubuntu.

Specifically, I am imagining using it as an input device for graphics programmes, virtual blackboards and the like.

After a cursory search, this seems to be feasible in principle, but is there anything I should be aware before buying any tablet? Are different operating systems on the tablet better suited for this?

Thanks in advance for any answers!

Well if you intend to make your tablet the controller than I got a way to do it.

I will suggest you try it with your mobile phone first to ensure you get what you desired.

  1. Go here an install gs-connect as an extension You will get the Mobile Devices column like below if everything is good

  1. Install KDE connect in your tablet from the play store.

  2. Connect your laptop with your phone via hotspot and then connect using KDE-connect

laptop:- enter image description here

mobile:-

  1. Go to plugin setting to enable plugins and permissions in KDE-connect in your mobile

  2. Now go to Remote-input option in KDE-connect an enjoy :)
