  That’s a nice project, but the last update was from 2 years ago and it needs way too much work to be close to usable. Windows 11 might be getting ads but at least audio works…

  To be Done:

  Support for Audio Subsystem #21
  Support for LTE/Modem #22
  Support for Webcams #23
  Support for External Display Ports #27
  Support for Suspend #29
  Support for TrEE Services #37
  Support for Sensors #38
  Support for GNSS/GPS #39
  UEFI ResetSystem() crashes #41
  

  Various other issues can be expected, see the issue tracker for details.

    Yeah I kinda figured that, just did a quick Google search and found that.

    I’ve got a dell xps15, awesome Linux experience no issues with any hardware. Also think pads are great as well.

      The problem I have is that this covers a very niche use case for me. I want it to be a tablet - lightweight etc, but not be constrained by mobile apps. I don’t want iOS’ version of lightroom, I want to have Darktable and Rawtherapee and a full fledged Visual Studio code, and well, you get the picture.

      I don’t need a laptop because I also have a MacBook Pro - I went this way because Apple’s processors are too far ahead to ignore. So I can take AMD but my opinion is that intel’s offerings are just not competitive and I’m not buying any of them.

      This leaves me with very few options - I’d be keen on buying an AMD-powered Ubuntu tablet but they don’t seem to exist.

      And also my surface works perfectly fine, so spending a non-trivial amount of money and ewaste just to change OS seems rather silly. I’m sticking to that one for now.

        Yep all very good points! I think Linux will catch up with the mobile processors soon.
