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.

I’m currently running Fedora 38 on a Surface Pro 6!
I’ve installed Fedora on a Surface Pro 4 and a Surface Pro 7 as well.
Super duper simple. Runs well and snappy. I prefer it to Windows.
The only downside is the battery life on standby is very bad (like all Linux distros).
Okay. And everything is working?
Is the stylus well integrated?
Not as good as Windows no. It acts like a mouse input but pressure sensitivity works well (as well as the eraser) in Krita.
