Are you referring to installing Ubuntu on the WSL, or actually wiping out Win10 and installing Ubuntu natively?
Because to my knowledge, Linux support on the Surface/Pro/Book line is still wobbly at best. I've seen some people running Arch, but problems with battery life and sleep mode abound. I can't imagine the Surface Book's detachable base in tablet mode would be working yet.
- nkkollaw 9y agoI would dualboot with Windows to use the pen if I want to draw something, and to detach the tablet (which I would imaging I'd never do). According to what I've read on https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/ https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/, installing a few packages is enough to get most things working.
