I haven’t had a great time with Linux on a tablet without a keyboard and mouse but PostmarketOS is 100% usable IMO. Even the on screen keyboard on the login screen works.

    Daily driving a Surface Go 1 with Fedora since 2022.

    It works really well except for cameras, sometimes bluetooth and being laggy 1 time out of maybe 30 startups.

    The last problem can be solved just by plugging and unplugging the usb-c cable connecting it to a screen.

    I’m really happy with it even if it’s not what I’d bought if I had gotten back to Linux already when I got it.

      Not saying it can’t be done. I know it can. And glad it can. Gives people who locked into buying a M$ product the option. That’s part of the beauty of Linux and open source.

      I just would never recommend anyone to go buy a surface for the sole purpose of running Linux.

      I ran Arch on mine when I had it. And it had its drawbacks. When I bought my next machine, a Lenivo, I had so much better support. It made the whole experience that much better.

      I hate Microsoft. And I hope they crumble. Every last bit of them.
