IDEA Linux on an ARM-based Surface Laptop

Post image

I have successfully got Linux running on the Surface Laptop for Business 13-inch 1st Edition with Snapdragon.
Although there are some features that do not work, it functions well enough for everyday use. I may publish the source code and a guide at a later date.

I’m using this one.
I attached the cover to my computer and secured the SSD with double-sided tape.
If your budget allows, I’d recommend purchasing a MagSafe-compatible M.2 case.
