The Microsoft Surface Pro X has a good Linux support now, and it's arm64 too:

Seriously? I get that running Linux on random hardware is the modern equivilant of getting doom to run on a toaster. But, this machine has been out, what a year an a half (two?) now? And we are talking about the battery indicator? Isn't that just part of the ACPI battery spec, of which this laptop runs windows doesn't it?<p>All this really says is that no one should touch this hardware with a ten foot pole, given a random AMD laptop tends to work out of the box, and costs 1/2 of that thing, and likely outperforms it by 2x. And these days, most of these AMD integrated GPU laptops are in the 3-4W range for the entire machine, running linux+browser/etc. Which means your getting ~15-20hours battery life with a 65Wh battery.<p>So, its someones fun hobby project to get it working in linux, which will be useful when I see them on sale for $150, but until then I will stick with laptops that are supported by their manufactures and can have their firmware updated with fwupdate.
