The surface isn't a great Linux machine. I tried to run it on my Surface Pro 4 and it was just OK. These days I go for hardware that has known Linux compatibility. I'm especially a fan of the Framework laptop, but my Dell XPS 15 has been a solid Linux machine too.
I used it for my product design classes back in uni so it's a leftover :D Never heard of the Framework laptop but it won a red dot so it's already got a +1 in my book haha.
My wife uses a Framework running Arch and we're both very impressed. The build quality is excellent and even the touchpad is very nice. There's a small issue with sleep currents though, but neither of us have had the time yet to sit down and configure the low power modes properly yet. Framework is aware of the issue so hopefully their next models will be improved (and for what it's worth, I've seen high sleep currents on Frameworks running Windows as well).
