[GLLUG] Linux-friendly eink tablet -- looking for paper notebook replacement

[Adam Monsen]

Any Linux users out there also using one of those fancy new eink 
notepads? I'm looking for one that lets me easily get to the files I 
create on it. Ideally it would have 1st-class (documented, maintained) 
support for direct ssh/rsync/Nextcloud, maybe a Linux-compatible FOSS 
app, stuff like that. Just to be clear, I don't mean to install Linux on 
the eink notepad (unless that's somehow a great idea), I'm fine with 
their OS as long as I can sync files from it (maybe also to it) easily. 
rsync+SSH would be fine. I heard remarkable <https://remarkable.com> has 
a "developer mode" with SSH access 
<https://remarkable.guide/guide/access/ssh.html>, but it doesn't sound 
very user-friendly (useless GUID-like sync'd filenames 
<https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/comments/fx5c0f/syncing_files_between_remarkable_and_computer/>).

I contacted customer support and I've learned they don't support 
Nextcloud and SSH access is indeed possible.

awesome-reMarkable <https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable> 
has some leads. Maybe working with their cloud service would be easier 
than going directly to the device. I guess I'm hoping to avoid too many 
rabbit holes though, and also hoping for something as cool as remarkable 
but with 1st-class Linux/etc. support. Oh and /not/ having to share my 
data with their cloud would be nice too--I strongly prefer direct device 
access.
