I have a couple of Surface tablets that I’d like to put Linux on if possible. The one I want to try first is a 5th gen Surface Pro. If all goes well I would then try it on a Surface Go 2 and hopefully could keep the cellular access.

What resources are available for doing this? The little I’ve read so far makes me think that it is a buggy process and maybe not worth the effort involved.

    May not be your goal, but I specifically wanted to get more life out of a Windows 8 tablet sans keyboard. I had a good time experimenting with the x86 port of Android, and it was a surprisingly smooth process.

    At the end of the day, it was indeed quick enough for some basic browsing, but anything with video was horrendous despite the drivers working fine (this was a system with Intel Atom and 2GB RAM).
