Has anyone installed and used Linux on Microsoft Surface Tab? Which Surface model is most suited and which Linux diastro performs the best?

Related question: anyone have luck with GPU hotplug? I’ve got an eGPU that works perfectly with Windows, but I cannot for the life of me get it to run with Fedora or Ubuntu (xorg and/or wayland). That is the final think keeping me on Windows, which handles eGPU hotplug flawlessly

Thank goodness for edits: I’m running it on a Surface Laptop Studio! Pop! OS was amazing (once I got the proper kernel loaded), but held back by the need to restart every time I wanted to hook up my external monitors.

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.
