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.

Seconded. I daily drove a yoga for some time (really a flex). It worked pretty well. Definitely check the compatibility of whatever laptop you choose before though. I had to manually install a driver to get the touchpad to work everytime I updated the kernel until it was finally merged into mainline. 😬
