Wouldn't an iPad with the keyboard cover and ssh client app meet these requirements?

I so want "iPad Pro + SSH client + keyboard cover + gcloud/aws box" to work for my needs, but I have yet to find a solution that allows ESC/Meta and all the common control keys to work seamlessly within Emacs in a way that doesn't confound my decades of traditional and laptop keyboard muscle memory.

If anyone has definitively solved this problem, I would love to hear about it. I've dropped 50+ USD on apps trying to make this happen.

I tried this too, but there appears to be no way to swap caps and control. This is simple on macOS and Linux and something I am so used to that I can't really work without it, especially in emacs.

Stupid question. Can I install linux on an iPad?
