Would the Go 2 run Linux OK?

I had a Surface Pro 3 for a while and though I got Linux running on it, I never managed all the tablety stuff working properly. Rotation, Pen + Touch input (at the same time without randomly cutting out!!), auto keyboard popup on input fields with no keyboard connecting, the keyboard actually working after being removed and reconnected, etc etc...

It was a great machine but Linux lacked support for this type of support in many ways. I wonder if this has improved as this was many years ago when the SP3 was just out.



this subreddit has some good information on the topic:

and for the Go 1 it seems to work pretty well: https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/gclaqi/surfac...


It's gotten better, in that you now have wifi and can detach the keyboard. Pen and ink is still bad. Do not recommend running Linux.


Oh, WiFi worked fine for me even then!

Thanks for the feedback!
