Was wondering what tablets you run Linux on.

  • What’s good?
  • What’s not so good?
  • What’s worth mentioning?

    Surface Pro 3 running Fedora

    • The fact that it runs is good
    • Gnome is not good
    • The linux-surface kernel is a cool project, though I think I need to try a different distro

      It just blows my mind that Gnome isn’t good on a tablet, when the whole damned UI seems to make compromises with multi-monitor capability so that it can be consistent across tablet and desktop/laptop. Gnome has such a nice look and feel, too bad the devs are hell bent on making it unusable for the majority of users in an effort to make it suitable for a majority of users.

        Yeah everyone said it’s great for tablets but the on-screen keyboard just doesn’t seem to work properly

      I’m running CachyOS KDE on my Surface Pro 6. Cachy screams on it. If you don’t need the touch screen, you don’t need the linux-surface kernel and can get all the benefit out of hte Cachy kernel.
