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?

Why not just load Linux on a Surface? Are there compatibility issues or something?

Yeah it's not as easy as with a desktop

I'm not aware of any devices in a similar form factor that has good Linux support, but I figured the popularity of surfaces would make them a little less difficult to get running. Good luck and let us know if you're able to find something ideal!
