Once the drivers got into the mainline kernel, running Linux on surface has been a dream. Except for using the pen, IR-cameras, booting from USB...

I think there's enough of us to have a SurfaceLinux community here :-)

Reminds me of android ROMs about a decade ago.

"My new L33tM@st3r ROM has just been released! Now with kernel tweaks for buttery-smooth performance and major improvement to stock battery life! Comes with it's own tuning app so you can adjust it the way YOU want!

(Not presently working: bluetooth/wifi/camera/NFC/dialler/headphones but everything else is awesome!!)"

Yes and no. Back then, you got the ROMs from a group / individual / forum and it wasn't very much vetted like a distro coming directly from the linux community / canonical / etc.

Also, I can live without using surface pen (-: If you compare to Asahi and its maturity (a lot running, but not sound yet), LinuxSurface kernel have made a LOT of progress in making these devices even more usable compared to they handle Win11.

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.
