I've got an older Surface Pro running Fedora and the install was a little annoying to get everything working, but like, it's perfectly fine for tablet-y things as long as you realize that there's really really not a good tablet UI or apps that have good tablet UIs on Linux.

I went with MAKE UI BIGGERERER as the tablet UI option and it's sufficient.

Have you ever tried a stylus with it? I've never tried using a stylus on Linux but I'm curious about it

I don't have the stylus, sorry. That got lost years ago on a trip and I never used it enough to justify replacing it (this was before I moved to Linux on it).

There's the MinisForum V3

I'm unsure about the long term reliability as MinisForum hasn't stated anything in terms of Linux support (plus see all the cons in the thread linked above)

if you can, I'd suggest waiting a year as more likely than not we'll see more mainstream companies offering a tablet with explicitly stated Linux support
