Should I download Linux onto my surface pro 1? Is it touchscreen compatable yet? And if you do recommend me doing this where can I download/buy it?

It'll work if you pick a common distro with good driver support. What are you looking to do with your Linux powered Surface Pro?

Mostly taking notes And/or a bit of drawing with my tablet

are you dumb?
>>51418917
Well, the answer to your question depends on how comfortable you are using a desktop UI with your stylus and relying on handwriting recognition that feels like it's stuck in the 90s. Are you okay with that?

fuck no OP. if you have a surface pro, you will lose the ability to use the machine.

>no touch screen support (will have to use stylus for every single interaction w/machine, even typing)

Oh I see where you're coming from. I have a drawing tablet that I use with my tower at home. If touch doesn't work on my surface after Linux installation I'd use that

Even touch cover support?

I mean type not touch

I can use my fingers on my x220 tablet, I don't see why it would be different on a surface... I recommend gnome to op

You're friend couldn't even figure out how to put Windows back on it? Sounds like an idiot.

if you couldn't get the main idea of a simple >100 words post, i meant that it didn't work well with the hardware
sorry forgot i had to be more specific for the special people in /g/

Sounds like it didn't fuck up his "tabled" then
