The author reflects on their experience attempting to install Linux on their Surface Pro 4 tablet, seeking a Linux-like environment. Despite successful installations with EndeavourOS and Fedora Workstation 40, the touchscreen issues, including ghost touch and palm rejection, made the tablet unusable. With KDE, the virtual keyboard was unstable, impacting the tablet experience. Gnome on Fedora was slower and had memory usage issues. Ultimately, the author reverted back to Windows 10 due to the touch recognition problems. They recommend using Windows with alternative software like Nextcloud and Krita. The potential of the device with Linux remains unfulfilled due to hardware compatibility issues.
