I have a Microsoft Surface 7 laptop and reaaaally want to try Linux, but everywhere I’ve looked seems to say that Linux just isn’t there yet, with maybe the exception of Arch. I’ve also seen that Ubuntu is working on it but a ton of stuff still doesn’t work (keyboard, volume, Bluetooth).
Can someone tell me I’m wrong and that there is something out there that will work for my laptop? Im not a programmer and know pretty much nothing about coding so…I am terrified of Arch.
The x86 / x86_64 platforms (not specifically the CPU architecture, but the surrounding infrastructure which comes with it, like BIOS/UEFI) come with a rather mature hardware discovery interface. ARM is still the wild west by comparison.
