Kinda curious what model/when you tried it. I recently picked up a dirt-cheap Surface Go 2 and everything I've tried works great ootb including pen/touch, at least with Gnome, which was very surprising. Runs way smoother than the Win11 it came with too.

From my limited understanding it seems like a few years ago you needed a separate kernel for at least that model but nowadays everything's upstreamed seemingly.

Surface Pro 4, it is an older model, so it cannot run Win11. Indeed I needed a custom kernel.

I’m still quite happy with Win10 though.

I’ll have a look at Linux again.
