Installing Linux on Surface Pro 8
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are you familiar with the Linux Surface Project? You'll find feature matrix and installation guide links.
I've been running Linux Mint on a Surface 4 Laptop for well over a year and after initial configuration it works very well. The installation guide at that site made it fairly easy to get working.
Thanks so much!
