From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The Surface Pro keyboard is actually quite good, with the added bonus that it's also easily detachable.
The issue I find with the surface is that it just isn't lapable. Using it on my lap is nearly impossible. Good on a desk though.
Yeah that was the big strike against it for me too. I found that you can sort of perch it over a crossed leg and it's sort of serviceable that way, but yeah... no coding on the train with a Surface.
Then, some chuwi convertibles have a laptop-like keyboard, but I have never seen one in person.
