Just putting out feelers, anyone here run Linux on a surface pro 4 or 5? What distro did you use, and how did it go?

Edit: I’ve pulled the trigger on a Surface Pro 4. I’ll make a new post in a week with my early impressions, which distro I’ve gone with, etc etc etc.

    If I wasn’t interested in drawing and wanted a GNU/Linux tablet, I would buy Pinetab 2.

      I really want to love my PineTab 2 and I’m hoping for kernel updates to unlock more hardware potential. The Wi-Fi doesn’t work at all in my experience and the touchscreen feels very cheap (usually must tap my finger several times before it registers the touch).

      Ah, but I got a surface pro 4 i5, 8gb, for £90. With keycase and charger. I was looking at a pinetab 2, but it would have run me a bit more than that…
