Looking to draw with a pen straight on the screen, and being able to run kubuntu for example so that I can install aseprite for instance I know I could install Linux on a surface, but it may be a hassle?

    I’m daily driving a yoga x380 and am really happy. Using the pen for quick notes on my professors slides. I use Zorin and Win10 in dual boot but only really use Zorin. Only thing that doesn’t work on Zorin is the HDMI port but I didn’t really bother to trouble shoot.

    I’ve bought a DELL Venue 11 Pro 7130 just recently for the same reason. Seems to run Fedora 38 just fine.

        You install Linux normally first and then install the surface kernel after. Until then you can’t use the pen and touch is limited. You’ll probably need at least 2 free usb slots on the surface though, one for the isntallation medium and one for an external keyboard. If you don’t have a usb c dock, you’ll need to figure out how to get a linux iso on a usb that includes the surface kernel, which is possible but fairly compicated compared to the usual installation.
