The Framework 12 actually seems really ideal for this, being that it has a 360 degree hinge and works properly with Linux.

It's also expensive as fuck, but then, you can repair and upgrade it, and I've heard Surface tablets are an absolutely miserable experience to try repairing. So up to you if the upfront cost is worth less pain down the road.

Still not there for art, sadly. For example their pen has only half of the pressure sensitivity SPs better pens have :(

The Framework 12 lists "MPP 2.0 and USI 2.0 stylus support", so you can use other pens with it, I think. Your stylus won't be repairable, but perhaps if you complain at Framework loudly enough they might eventually release a higher quality stylus themselves.

If it's a limitation of the machine's hardware/the protocol they support, complain at them for that instead. I'm not an artist so I don't actually find myself needing/using a pen often, thus I don't know whether that means it has good or bad pen support, but it certainly sounds like it supports SPs.

I don't think the pen input sensitivity/features on it is suitable for pro-level artists, but I might be wrong.

see my other comment, the framework includes "MPP 2.0 and USI 2.0 stylus support", so it should be able to use other pens it if the one they sell isn't to your liking.
