Touch inputs can be a little messy, driver support for closed source hardware (e.g., MS Surface) is understandably rocky, and I’ve had bad experience with battery longevity especially on open source hardware.
My 6-year-old SP battery still has ~70% capacity, which is teriffic. I have had other laptops lose 90% of their capacity after just a year or two, so I’m skeptical of the tablet market.
I’m not saying good Linux tablets don’t exist, just that I’m looking for recommendations since the waters feel murkier to me.
I know this is an old comment but for anyone in the future that’s wondering, I’m happy to say the Dell Pen does work out of the box on Mint. I tested with Krita and even the pressure sensitivity works perfectly!

Mint runs great on my dell tablet. Touch screen works fine although I haven’t tried it with a pen yet.

Dell Latitude 5290. It’s starting to show it’s age but linux has made it snappy. Even runs lightweight steam games.
