/g/uys, I'm thinking about buying a tablet. I've never encountered a laptop worth a damn, and I really want a portable computing solution to work while I'm on the go. I have a few questions before I embark on this questionable journey:
•Can I (using an external optical drive) install an older version of Gentoo 7 on any tablet without fucking everything sky high? I know a lot of times hardware for stuff like this is chosen specifically because it works with whatever datamining OS was tossed onto the machine, but since I'm not an idiot, I feel like I could work around that kind of stuff. Correct me if I'm wrong.
•Is a tablet actually a good option vs a laptop? I have reservations about laptops, but that could just be poor selection on my part/the part of others whose laptops I have experience with. I feel like the fewer moving parts like fans and fold-able screens would help with preventing huge breaks, but I'm willing to admit I may be wrong.
•Is there any fucking tablet that doesn't use Intel's horseshit processors? I'm an AMD man, myself, but I can't seem to find anything aside from Intel's rubbish.
