installing linux on my surface pro 8
Hi everyone! I know im not good with technology. I brought a surface pro 8, 3 years ago. I obviously understand that was a mistake and i should have listened to programmer cousin. Its gonna be slighty difficult to install linux on it.
I've researched several youtube videos, but i was wondering if anyone had any tips?Obviously the attachable keyboard has to work and i want the touch screen to work. The surface appealed to me when i brought for those features.
With all the privacy concerns of windows, i want to commit to switching my operating system! Thank you everyone for their help with all my privacy questions. Ive been getting into foss and learning kotlin.

Use the surface-linux custom kernel https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supported-Devices-and-Features#feature-matrix
It seems from the feature matrix that all features are supported except your builtin camera. I personally use this kernel (arch with hyprland) and it works perfectly. The nvidia dgpu is sometimes a pain tho
Thanks so muchh!
