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 tried a few different linux distros on various chromebooks, and regardless of if you pick a chromebook or another device, I highly recommend you don’t get a device with an arm-based cpu. Pick a 2-in-1 that has a normal x86 processor so you don’t have to deal with compatibility issues.
Compatibility with software you mean?
Sexual compatibility. Chromebooks are known prudes
Large instruction sets are better than smaller ones…
I hear the bus width is actually more important…
Software can be hit or miss on ARM processors, but it’s getting much better. If you stick to mainstream distros/apps, you’re not going to run into many problems. I’m writing this from a 2014 Acer C720 running Debian, and it does it beautifully. This old thing still gets 10 hours of battery life, and I paid less than $100 for it.
Yes, I guess @[email protected] is right though that software compatibility for arm is improving, so it really depends on your use-case and workflow. I don’t remember exactly what I was doing at the time I just remember the program I wanted couldn’t run on arm.
