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.

We like Linux. Freedom. Privacy. GNOME UI is really well adapted for tablets with it’s gestures and overview effect. Plasma is also very good. Animations are way more smooth and responsive than on Windows.
