I hate MS, but this looks like a genuinely nice piece of hardware... I wonder if it can run anything other than Windows without being half broken, then I might be interested.
[Edit]
Looks like everyone is thinking the same thing :P Now who can we pay to invest a month hacking away at figuring out how to get all the bits of hardware working in Linux?
Following the link various others have posted here [1], it looks like the surface book 2 support isn't completely terrible, much better than i expected, but not amazing either... Broken things and things that require more effort are:
- Sleep S3 broken
- Video is dual nVidia GPU, requires bumblebee
- TouchPad and Pen broken, work with a custom Linux kernel
- PCI camera(s) not working
The touchpad is probably gona be the most annoying one.
