every six months I try to install linux on my surface sans-number (between 5 and 6 I guess), find bogus linux kernel, try it out, regret imensely. go back to crapy-but-still-better-than-osx windows 10. then six+ months passes, I somehow forget about all this and repeat.<p>surface tablets would be a killer machine if I could dual boot linux on it for serious work.
Unsatisfied new user/owner of iPad Pro + keyboard + pen, generally happy OS X user here. Touch screen was the hook (as I dabble in visual arts) but for me this has proven to be a very expensive mistake.<p>What are the issues/peeves with Surface Go? Is this space (touch screen large form factor mobile computing devices) generally underwhelming or is this simply Apple doing UX RnD on my dime?
