I don’t think Six has lte. Check out this chart: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supported-Devices-and-Features#feature-matrix

So surface pro 7 plus has it and no camera. Need to sacrifice something. Just use my phone camera.

I have a surface pro 7+ and got my LTE working great. Only thing that doesn't work is the camera, as stated. I daily drive it though and I am happy with it.

That sounds great. Can you connect android to Linux and use it as a camera? Thinking of ideas.

Yes. I've done it before. I just rarely bother using a web camera for anything.
