    I’m happy to hear it. My first experience with Linux was Steam OS on the steam deck for one year. At first, I didn’t get technical with it, but some time after I bought it, I started tinkering with the desktop environment and loved it. FF to recently, I had Bazzite. It was amazing, but it was a pain with the non-imutability of the system, then moved to Fedora KDE Plasma, and I love it. A very big plus for me on Linux over Windows is that I can play very, very old games on Linux, thanks to wine.

    It’s true, I know from experience that running Linux on old SP’s is not easy, I also have an SP5 and I installed Linux on it, it took me a long time, time that not many people are willing to give just to experiment with stuff. What I can say about it is that it’s working amazingly well, after I installed the Surface kernel… my pen works ok, the touch is weird, you can’t press with the tip of the finger, due to how it reads touches, but it’s a work in progress. Now, I use an SP8 with Fedora KDE for university, which works great. It took me just a few hours to install, due to me tinkering before with the SP5.

    In my opinion, you should give it a try on a virtual machine, just to try it before installing it directly, and just give it another go. KDE came a long, long way now. It’s not perfect, but it works very well.

    Yes, it’s known that it is possible to do that, but Windows 11 has TPU 2.0 requirements for a reason. As they say, it’s for security. In my opinion, if you have to jump through so many hoops and loops to use a damn OS, just to use it as a home desktop or to use old tech, just move to Linux. You have Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora KDE, Steam OS (not yet fully out), and many more. For a beginner who came from Windoes, I recommend Linux Mint. If you already have a Steam deck, for example, I recommend Bazzite (it’s non-imutable) or Fedora KDE Plasma.

    Edit: Sorry if I came out harsh, I didn’t mean to sound like that, I just feel frustrated at how shit Windoes has turned in too
