You mean with Windows?
From my favorite e-waste retailer I saw that the pricing of surface go 2 and 3 is enticing and I wanted to try them - but with Linux. With Linux is usable, right? Plasma can recognize tablet mode automatically?
What what other people in this thread are saying, Linux on a surface is really solid.
I do mean with Linux. I bought it with Widows on and eventually put Debian on it. KDE Plasma already does a wonderful tablet mode out of the box and it's getting better. The stylus isn't all that reliable yet.
