Isn't it up to Linux Distro's and hardware OEMs (Intel, Nvidia, etc) to make sure you have a smooth experience? Microsoft doesn't block you from installing Linux on their hardware, just as Apple doesn't, but in both cases neither Microsoft nor Apple do much to support Linux.
- stephenr 8y agoI believe the point of the question was to ask if drivers are readily available for the specific combination of hardware Microsoft uses, not to imply that Microsoft should support it.
- Someone1234 8y agoSorry, I misunderstood. In answer to that question: I'd stay well away from the Surface Book if you want to run Linux, too many proprietary "magic" drivers for the screen disconnection functionality. The Surface Laptop uses fairly off-the-shelf hardware (shared by other ultra-portables) and you will *likely have a better overall experience.
