Any drawing tablet recommendations?
I was able to make use of my Veikk S640 before in linux using a community-made driver. It worked great, but the tablet, itself, is not that durable. The tablet's surface got scraped off by the pen over a year of usage. I don't even press hard on my pen and I use light sensitivity on the pen pressure settings. It has now an official driver from Veikk, but I haven't tried it.

Surface Book 2 keyboard KEXTs?
Ahh, that will be hard, however the linux community is great and has pretty much reverse engineered this https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-aggregator-module.

Which Wi-Fi adapter has the best support on Linux?
Other platforms, such as Microsoft's Surface devices have the Surface Aggregator Module whose role(s) haveexpanded to scopes such as handling input events, and over time, become much harder to handle on alternate operating systems such as Linux. Apple's T2's security processor, for example, imposes even more restrictions (and at a wider scope) than Microsoft's SSAM implementation.
