The stylus and the touch might not work perfectly with Linux.

On the SB1, IIRC the touch screen worked but the dGPU, bluetooth and camera did not, you needed a patched kernel for hardware buttons and wifi, and hibernation didn't work (and the hardware didn't properly support suspend to ram). Not sure about the "tablet" mode.

If the parent is using a tiling WM I doubt they need the touch or the stylus much.
