There's support for Linux on the Surface range: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supported-Devices-and-Features#feature-matrix https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supporte... But actual users seem to say it's a bit of a mixed bag. If someone's looking for a laptop (that doesn't need touchscreen support), then Apple laptops with Asahi Linux are probably the better choice.

> then Apple laptops with Asahi Linux are probably the better choice. Or.. well it might sounds crazy.. but perhaps a laptop that actually supports Linux? Even from mainstream OEMs like Lenovo/Deal? Is Asahi Linux even usable at this stage? AFAIK: - no GPU (?), definitely no Vulkan - no 60Hz + - no thunderbolt/USB 4 - no external displays - no microphone - much lower battery life - very limited distro choice (of course masochists who are going to do this in the first place would probably use Arch anyway) Also ARM on Linux? I mean it should work but I doubt whether it's the best choice for desktop usage at this point (plenty of GUI apps don't support it).

  The 20+ hour battery life though is kind of important. ;) > I doubt whether it's the best choice for desktop usage This is literally a discussion on laptops, so that doesn't really apply. :) I didn't realise it didn't have good battery life though. If that's really the case then it's pretty much a show stopper from my point of view. :(
