Surface-like laptop alternatives? (lemm.ee)

Hi,

I might need to give away my Surface Pro 7 soon, and I'm considering what laptop to buy next. For a MS laptop, the surface behaved rather well on linux. Well, if it wasn't for the cameras, which never worked. I'm now wondering which laptop has good hardware support, that would be kinda like a surface, a 2-in-1 laptop. As in, detachable keyboard, that can operate in tablet mode and then once you attach the keyboard you have a full laptop. But with full Linux/cameras/everything support?

Does such thing exist? Thanks!

For an everyday use laptop/tablet, I'd also like to know. PostmarketOS is a good bet for switching Surfaces to Linux, but not all of the hardware features are working yet.
