Ask HN: What kind of whiteboard does not use dry erase markers?

I've been using a dry erase whiteboard for decades and am in the market for something different. Someone mentioned in another thread they were using some kind of magnetic board (maybe it wasn't magnets, I can't remember 100%) but I can't find anything like this online.

Anybody have any recommendations?

Keeping it classic, nice. How do you manage the dust?

Perhaps with multiple vacuums attached on the bezels.

What would be the fancy modern buyable version of this?

1) Try a few different "dustless" chalk brands. Pick the one that's the least dusty. It probably won't write as nicely. 2) Erase with a damp cloth, not a dry felt eraser. 3) Use a blackboard with relatively low surface roughness. It won't write as nicely.
