Just putting out feelers, anyone here run Linux on a surface pro 4 or 5? What distro did you use, and how did it go?
Edit: I’ve pulled the trigger on a Surface Pro 4. I’ll make a new post in a week with my early impressions, which distro I’ve gone with, etc etc etc.
I’m so confused right now. Basically no one is sitting in the middle ground in this thread… Either I’ve made a horrible decision, wasted £90, and I’ve set myself for a load of pain with no reward at the end, or basically the exact opposite…
My sympathies lol. I’ve been a long time Linux user. Sometimes my experience can be optimistic but in this case I remember things working pretty well. Definitely post your experience here and feel free to DM if you need a hand with something.
Thanks bud, much appreciated 👍
I’m no longbeard wizard, but I’ve gone through the manual arch setup a few times, and done my fair share of distro hopping. I think I’ll be able to run through this without too much issue. Just not sure who to believe, or if it really boils down to luck of the hardware draw.
In any case, I’m looking forward to playing around with my new toy, and hopefully it’ll work how I want it to.
Might shoot you a dm and pick your brain if I get stuck.
