I own the following devices: Surface 3 (non-Pro,) Surface Pro 3, and a Surface Pro 2017: - Surface 3: Atom x7, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB HDD - Surface Pro 3: i7, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB HDD - Surface Pro 2017: i7, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD I use these devices daily as my main machines. I use them interchangably. All of the devices run Arch Linux with identical configurations. None are currently configured for dual-boot. All of them run the same long-running programmes (e.g., Slack, Hangouts,) though I use each device for a different purpose: - Surface 3: reading PDFs & documentation, email - Surface Pro 3: backup device - Surface Pro 2017: software development, general use All of devices are usable for actual day-to-day work. The devices run different kernels: - Surface 3: stock LTS kernel or Zen kernel with patches - Surface Pro 3: stock LTS or stock Zen kernel - Surface Pro 2017: git kernel with patches from (http://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface) None of the devices support S3 suspend. They support only "Connected Standby." (https://lwn.net/Articles/580451/ https://lwn.net/Articles/580451/) Works on all devices: - hibernate - SecureBoot, TPM - touchscreen, pen input - Typecover (detach/reattach), touchpad multitouch - sensors (rotation, ambient light) - WiFi, Bluetooth - audio - SD card Surface 3: - DisplayPort doesn't always work - webcams don't work Surface 3 Pro: - everything works 100% with stock kernels Surface Pro 2017: - battery readings don't work - webcams don't work I am overall very happy with these computers. They are the first machines in a long time that I have been "excited about." Linux support so far is good (ranges from a B- to an A+) and within the range of being usable for daily work.
