What Kiosk Tablet? (lemmy.ml)

I've been using an Amazon tablet with Fully Kiosk for a few months but it frankly sucks ass. Keeps resetting itself or kicking back to the Amazon home screen to name a few issues.

If money isn't a factor, what tablet do you think would be the dream choice for integrating as a wall mountable Hass tablet?

Fully Kiosk is a great app but still very hacky, so I'd like a tablet that doesn't require workarounds to keep it in kiosk mode.

I hate telemetry and spyware as well so I guest that puts anything Amazon or Google based out of the equation.

Never tried it myself, but doesn't android come with a built-in kiosk mode? I seem to recall seeing something about that a while back

From what I could find, similar to iOS, you need some type of external management device to set this up.
