https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface makes most of the features "just work" in mainstream distros on these devices.

In the laptop that can also be a decent tablet sometimes space, the brand still does really well, though most people are probably fine with tablet that can be a decent laptop sometimes. Hopefully mobile linux projects like mobian and postmarketos allow the later idea have more than iOS and Android as viable options soon.

    I don't have a tablet precisely for that reason. Until I can have a full Linux driven tablet, I'll keep to phones and computers.

    Dude I have a good news for ya. Look for refurbished surface until the 8 these beast run Linux amazingly once you use the surface kernel from https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface. I installed waydroid to get androids apps, buy I noticed I start it less and less.

    Thanks for the tip. I guess I'll dive into eBay and see what I can find. I want 2 Linux tablets, 1 for myself (reading comics and books since I jumped the Kindle ship long ago, watching my Jellyfin library on the couch, etc),and one to put on the wall as a central command center for my Home assistant.

    I really appreciate it, because I did let my hate for Microsoft keep me from ever looking in that direction. Thanks so much bud.
