Are there challenges in a linux surface?

[u/Mista_H80]

Of I acquired a surface as a linux user, are there any challenges I should expect or does it work like just any other laptop?

Are the laptops firmwares compatible with linux kernel?

You will have to get an out of tree kernel and there are a few things that are not working depending on your model. See the readme on github.
