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?

David Revoy did some search on finding a cheap hardware to draw using opensource software: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article972/my-solution-for-mobile-digital-painting-on-gnu-linux

I have a Yoga 530, running KDE 5.24.4. The touch functionality is really broken, basically unusable. Try Gnome, anything is better than this.
