I'm not kidding when I say that I would pay a literal 3x premium for an Ipad Pro that can run linux.

Linux should still be a subpar experience on the iPad. Apple is not going to write Linux drivers for their hardware.

Well iOS is also a subpar experience on the ipad pro. Besides Apple does not need to write drivers for it. The ipad pro is just a macbook with no builtin keyboard and with a 120hz mini-led touch screen. Work on getting linux to work on it is essentially a few months to a year away most likely. Apple only has to allow users to run non-apple OS on it.
