Just putting out feelers, anyone here run Linux on a surface pro 4 or 5? What distro did you use, and how did it go?

Edit: I've pulled the trigger on a Surface Pro 4. I'll make a new post in a week with my early impressions, which distro I've gone with, etc etc etc.

Which Gen X1 did you get? I've been looking at those, but I am not sure which Gen will have the best compatibility.

    I got a gen 3, basically what is not working are :

    • Internal MIcrophone
    • Back Camera
    • Fingerprint reader
    • FnLock key Everything else is working well enough so far for me. S2idle is working way more reliably on this device than on my SP4 but with a bit a tinkering I think that you can get S3 sleep working.
