Hi everyone! I know im not good with technology. I brought a surface pro 8, 3 years ago. I obviously understand that was a mistake and i should have listened to programmer cousin. Its gonna be slighty difficult to install linux on it.

I've researched several youtube videos, but i was wondering if anyone had any tips?Obviously the attachable keyboard has to work and i want the touch screen to work. The surface appealed to me when i brought for those features.

With all the privacy concerns of windows, i want to commit to switching my operating system! Thank you everyone for their help with all my privacy questions. Ive been getting into foss and learning kotlin.

    I have quite a few Surface Pro's and had tried a few different options. I got EndeavourOS working but it was manual to setup. I also have a NixOS config, because I needed a way a to install it many times. I could share the config but NixOS is definitely not for everyone.

    Aurora sounds like a good option.
