Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality!
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.

I'm looking for a device to read comics (bandes dessinées, the taller A4 format), newspapers, rss feeds
I use an ipad for now, but I'd like to get rid of it
It needs high definition (at least 1440p) in a 12" or 13" screen. (11 too, less ideal), and to stay cool while reading/light browsing
I would love for this to be a Linux device.
Could this be it? What would be the cheapest option?
edit: a surface pro 3 at 200€?
Pro 3 will be pretty good for your needs. It will have bad battery life but if you use it at home then no problem.
Thanks!
