I meant it to be implied with my comment tying back to the original surface rc devices, I've always really liked the look of the surface line, it's why I bought one and used it heavily (I was also and windows phone and zune early adopter, other things that were actually really nice but got dropped), I personally disliked that I couldn't really do much with it after they dropped support as afaik the rc2 no one has cracked and made that crack public.

And totally willing to admit being wrong, going back and editing my comments to reflect my mistake

Yeah that's fair.

I wouldn't be best impressed if they killed a device and locked you out.

Luckily someone actually did hack it: https://openrt.gitbook.io/open-surfacert

Would you be interested in using something like that to run Linux or Windows 10?

Linux for sure, they weren't the beefiest devices even for the time, wow someone finally got the rt2 unlocked fully? Appreciate the link, going to have to dig mine out.

I don't think it will necessarily be an easy process, and their are some limitations. Still it's good to see.
