No mention of Wacom or stylus or handwriting --- a quick search brings up:

and

which doesn't seem promising and:

comes up null.

I don't use it on a tablet, but I have been running an e/OS phoone for the last couple of years.

My experience hasn't been great 8-/

I used straight up LineageOS (which e/OS is built on) prior to that and prefered that experience.

The e/OS seems to be trying to be too much like them replacing the role of goggle in corporate android (providing cloud storage, syncing, etc).

In my next phone, I soon hope to try one of the latest round of straight linux phones, with android in VM. My current top choice is:

LineageOS already has a degoogled version (afaik, it is the default) and you can install it in many devices

I recently gave a new live to a Samsung tablet with it

That's understating it; LOS doesn't ship gapps, if you want it you have to get another zip and flash that on top of the OS. Though I suppose that's not quite what some people mean by degoogled; it is worth noting that they don't do things like avoiding use of Google's network connectivity checking.

The names of Android OSes are always so cryptic. It's quite off putting.
