I am sick of windows, I have Fedora KDE Plasma 6 on my main pc, and I want to migrate to Linux on my tablet, too, even if I lose some functionality. I also have a stylus for it. I know there are apps that work with it on Linux.

    On a surface you should use the surface kernel and its patches: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface

    If I were you I would pick one from the well documented distros from its wiki: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installation-and-Setup#surface-kernel-installation

    Obviously it should be possible to install this on any distro, but you can save yourself from a headache if you just follow a tutorial, if you have never done such a thing.

    Usually it’s easier if you have the same distro on both of your computers, so you don’t have to think about which computer are you on, it’s simpler if everything is the same. All the same programs available, same repos, etc.

      Thanks for the response, I’ve been tinkering, and before I read your message, I already started configuring the kernel for the surface. Now I am calibrating the touch. Sometimes, I wished I had something else than the surface, preferably something with an AMD processor… life would be a lot easier…
