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.
It’s got nothing to do with power, these devices have plenty of power. It’s hardware support. Those distros probably have even older kernels with even less support for new hardware (and I bet probably no ARM version anyhow)
it’s not about power, its about proactive hardware support by the devs.
