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.

Yeah it works- and has for quite a while. My SP3 ran Ubuntu fine back in the day, but it didn't save it from being an unservice-able piece of shit with failing hardware that overheated in 5 seconds flat.
Weird bugs. RIP SP3
Not bugs- it overheated in BIOS. :D
It's the next evolution of planned obsolescence - it just doesn't work as soon as you start to use it.
:DDD
It didn’t?!?!
I don't understand your question.
I am sarcastically shocked that it didn’t prevent the hardware from being shite.
Ha okay. Yeah, no saving that junk heap.
