I would love to find a comparable device from a vendor that prioritises Linux support.
As far as I can tell, none such exist. There are many companies making "detachable"/"type cover" tablet devices, but I can't identify that can match the size, weight, and performance of the Surface series.
I think it might be possible to raise the issue of Linux support to Panos Panay's attention. I have some thoughts how one might go about doing that.
Thankfully, the situation with the Surface Go is very promising. If the same choices are made for the Surface Pro 5/Surface Pro 2018 and Surface Book 3, I think these will be solid devices for software programmers who want to use Linux (or BSD.)
And, as I said, I use my Surface Go on a daily basis for work. It's a fantastic piece of hardware. I really enjoy using it.
