Microsoft is raising prices on all its current Surface PC offerings, with the midrange devices now starting at above $1,000, and flagships starting at $1,500.
I remember when the first Surface released and Gabe from Penny Arcade was like “wtf this is better than iPad for drawing. why aren’t they advertising this aspect of it?”
I don’t know if that’s still true, but I always tucked it in the back of my mind when I was looking for drawing tablets.
TIL that they still made these
The slightly older ones make great Linux tablets. I use mine for comics.

Which Surface Pro version do you recommend? Are you using Ubuntu Touch?
I use a Surface Pro 6, I know of a guy with an 8 on Fedora. Mine’s on Cachy with Gnome.
There is a custom kernel you may need to get, https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface
