I see linux-surface does not support The Surface Laptop (7th generation) (not to be confused with Pro7 as I did)
There is a linux-surface kernel, which makes some things work, and it has install instructions for Ubuntu and fedora, but its not a walk in the park.
(Also, arch might not be as hard as you think. Most of it is just following instructions on a wiki. But you might still need to install linux-surface on arch?)
I’d like to interject, what you are referring to as GNU/Linux Mint, is in fact GNU/Linux/X.Org/Cinnamon Mint
An i7 7700k and gtx1080ti is great. Sure it’s slightly older by now, but it should still be able to run stuff well. To think windows doesn’t like it.
Blender: No problem.
Unity: Works on Linux, I’ve had it open once.
Photoshop: Yea, you’ll need something like Krita.
Illustrator: Again Adobe, so something like Inkscape.
substance painter: This one? It seems to work on Linux, at least this steam version.
material maker: Seems open source and works on linux.
There are two definitions:
A class analysis, a leftist one.
And a wealth analysis, a liberal one.
The first one does exist, and the others have expanded upon it. The second “does not exist”, it is not a class, it is not about relations to MoP, but an ill defined wealth measure. Liberal politicians are talking about the second one when they use the phrase.
I’m very sorry, but as far as I can tell the answer is… Not yet.
The problem isn’t just the snapdragon processor, if that was all, most arm capable distros would work. But the surface is a bit special and needs custom stuff to work. The work is being done, but its hobby.
