I would like to share with you a very cool project that develops drivers for correct operation of Microsoft Surface devices on Linux. I myself use Surface Pro 6 with these drivers and everything works like a charm (battery life is good, cameras work, stylus, keyboard, touchscreen, screen). The developers are gods. From myself, I would recommend using Fedora Linux distribution, as I got the best battery life on it and didn’t experience any additional bugs. If you don’t like GNOME, you can try spins.

    tbh I don’t really see the point of buying something by Microsoft just to install Linux

    if it was possible, it’d be like buying an iPhone to install Android. You must’ve had a very good reason I guess.

    P.S. Just checked what the form factor of a Surface Pro 6 is, and I think you’re right when you say there are not many alternatives. Also, it’s a pretty old device so it does make somewhat sense to me. Not that it matters, you can install whatever you want on your stuff lol
