Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality! (upload.wikimedia.org)

I would like to share with you a very cool project that develops drivers for correct operation of Microsoft Surface devices on Linux. I myself use Surface Pro 6 with these drivers and everything works like a charm (battery life is good, cameras work, stylus, keyboard, touchscreen, screen). The developers are gods. From myself, I would recommend using Fedora Linux distribution, as I got the best battery life on it and didn't experience any additional bugs. If you don't like GNOME, you can try spins.

Linux on any portable device is a must, Windows is just too bloated like carrying around your entire house on your shoulders

Maybe not must but it can be very good 🙂

If I had any other computer besides my PC and phone I would wipe the drive and place a clean Linux os in a heart beat
