I have a surface pro and one surface pro 3, each of them purchased as soon as they appeared in Italy and all of them with Gentoo running since the very beginning.
Skipping the patches I had to apply initially for having all the HW working, currently in the pro 3 the running gentoo has a kernel 4.0.4 on which I retro applied the MS button module from a successive kernel release for the volume and power buttons to work and a patch for having both the cams working too. If you need I can send them both. I'm very satisfied with it (I have also the MS docking station) I use it for office and as DAW (with jackd) Regards Giampiero > I have been using an old Samsung android tablet and google has just > crossed the line and creeped me out past what I can tolerate so its time > to move on :( > > BillK
