> Once the Amazon cruft is tamed, I still haven't found a meaningfully better 10-inch thin/light Android tablet than the 2021 Fire HD 10 Pro.

It is shocking that no mainstream tablet manufacturer will let buyers exercise control over their device. At the very least, this means having root and being able to use it to purge unwanted software. Ideally, it also means being able to fully replace the stock OS with third party/open firmware.

The only one that does openly is Google at this point with their Pixel Tablet from 2024 or so, which I think they didn't do a second version of.

I'm running GrapheneOS on mine, same with my Pixel phone.

Doesn't the pixel tablet come with an unlocked bootloader?
