From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've got a Surface Go 2 running Kubuntu and it's been running fine. Performance overall seems to be better compared to Windows, and the touchscreen works fine as well.
I've experienced some kinks with the Surface Pen's responsiveness in that sometimes drop-down dialogues won't be properly selectable with the pen, it's skipping options for some reason if I hover over one, so I have to use my finger instead.
Apart from that, I have an extra program for an on-screen keyboard since, for some reason, the pre-installed on-board keyboard is only available when logging on the device.
Most multitouch functionality is also available right out of the box, like pressing the screen with two fingers at the same time to simulate a right-click.
