I am convinced this is a “plot” to kill the linux desktop / keep people on windows. Its better, free and you control it - why would they not want to kill it.

- pizzazzaro 8y agoYou can totally run Linux on a Surface device! Its drivers are in the 4.16 kernel, maybe earlier.
- gronne 8y agoLinux will run on almost everything these days. Of course they care: Linux desktops are finally starting to run out of the box. Kill the baby before it grows up.
