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.

    Been using it with a SP9. Overall it’s been a great experience, but not perfect. Cameras don’t work, shutdown doesn’t work properly when connected to power and the rotation is funky. I knew what I signed up for though as it is a very new device.

    Still much better than using windows

    Is Surface arm or x86?

    Just asking for my personal curiosity, that why you don’t use immutable version of Fedora?
