I mean, I feel like that’s classic cop reasoning…

I actually just read it about 25mins ago. And yeah, there’s a lot missing for it to be considered feature complete. That said, it might still be worth it.
Gonna wait and see if anyone chimes in with hands on experience. Might still buy one, and just hope the surface kernel matures a bit more in the coming months.

Edit: I’ve just had a second(proper) look at the feature matrix, and for the Pro 4 and 5, everything actually seems to be working. So maybe I’ll just pull the trigger while my wife’s out of town!

So would you say more or less fiddling about than with a regular laptop/desktop install(barring the additional need for the surface kernel install)?

I’m fine with extra fiddling about, that’s part of the fun, but if it’s not really functional at the end of the fiddling then that’s not so fun.
The ones I was looking at didn’t come with the stylus, so that’s a hurdle to jump at a later date.

Sweeeeet! Yeah, I’ve found a good deal on a pro 4, just negotiating with the seller.
Thanks for your input my dude!

I’ll be making a post in a week or so to talk about my experience with it.

Also, pierogi fucking rock.

Yeah, the gimped BIOS is certainly not a selling point. But for my use case, I don’t feel like it’s a deal breaker. I’ll be using it for light emulation gaming, and for tracking my self hosted bits. Maybe scrolling lemmy. Possibly distro hopping for the first week or two.
It’s essentially going to be a toy.

Land of the Free, my dude!
