Has anyone installed and used Linux on Microsoft Surface Tab? Which Surface model is most suited and which Linux diastro performs the best?

    I’m currently running Fedora 38 on a Surface Pro 6!

    I’ve installed Fedora on a Surface Pro 4 and a Surface Pro 7 as well.

    Super duper simple. Runs well and snappy. I prefer it to Windows.

    The only downside is the battery life on standby is very bad (like all Linux distros).

        No camera functionality but otherwise everything works. You’ll find Windows is more optimized for the pen but Fedora treats it like a mouse. It’s recognized in drawing apps like Krita though.

        Not as good as Windows no. It acts like a mouse input but pressure sensitivity works well (as well as the eraser) in Krita.
