I’m looking into a new tablet and it seems like grabbing a surface is a more affordable option to an iPad or other high end tablet. I can grab a decent one on marketplace for under $200 us. Is it worth it?

    Check out linux-surface for details of what works on your specific model (and if you’ll need to install the custom kernel). I have a surface pro 3, it struggles but basically everything works which is cool.

      definitely check for known compatibility issues before you buy. I have a Pro 9 and the sleep/wake is pretty awful. It really doesn’t handle well docking/undocking or attaching/detaching the keyboard when asleep.
