It is immensely satisfying installing Linux on a Microsoft device!

As for WHY I have a Surface Book 2 running Ubuntu 18.04...
I'll explain in a future video + article!

@Linux4Everyone I stuck 24.04 on my Surface Go 3 recently after it became completely unusable on Windows 11. It's like a whole new computer. Terrific.

@hedders I love hearing that! Absolutely one of my favorite things about Linux. Microsoft would have you believe that device is destined to be e-waste in the near future. Nope! Perfectly snappy and usable machine still.

@Linux4Everyone @hedders Nice to read. I'm using a surface pro 7+ at work. I can't use my samsung printer with it. Windows has abandonned the support. Ridiculous. It runs fine with linux as network device.

@stepfister I'm getting increasingly cross with Windows. Once I have a few days free, I'm going to move my main desktop to Linux too, I think, probably Zorin OS since I do a lot of gaming.
