If the remarkable also functioned as a proper e-reader I would bite the bullet. Still the supernote seems like the best of both. Also comes with ceramic nibs, so no need to change nibs as well

Inhave the original A5 from Supernote, and while the device still works just fine after 5 years (also I think I never had to change a nib even once), I’ve grown disillusioned with the company.
It came down to the A5 or the rM2 for me hack then. I liked everything about the A5 better, EXCEPT that the rM2 allowed you to mod it and access it via SSH.
The A5 runs on a slim version of Linux. So I asked Supernote if they’d consider opening SSH for users. And they said “Yes! It’s actually in our roadmap for the next release!”
And that’s been the answer I’ve been getting for the past 5 years. The last update for the device was about 3 years ago.
I love that the tablet is running plain Linux, but it suuuuuucks that I can’t use it to its full potential because the sync options suck.
