minus-square@tomalley8342@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish8•12 days ago but I imagine it would be hard to get Linux to work well with the surface - especially the touch screen. There’s a dedicated Linux kernel for Surface devices. Surfaces are your best bet for installing Linux out of any of the Windows tablets.
