I have recently bought older generation 12.9" iPad Pro and an M2 MBP through Backmarket at a fraction of the price. I'm primarily a Linux user but I bought the iPad for the screen and the MBP for music production. Even though they are years old, they still have more processing power than I need.

I just finished the full soundtrack of a theatre play using AsahiLinux on my M2pro mbp. I resorted to macos only to render some heavy video tracks.

Wow is the first time I heard about linux on iPad. Which guide did you use?

mbp = macbook pro , unless you forgot the /s

haha no, I took it as m2 ipad pro. Not sarcastic, just naive with some wishful thinking. Got super excited over the idea

You may have misread. They are using Asahi on their MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro chip.
