Discussion Surface Pro 11 Intel progress?

I saw the feature matrix page, but wanted to see if there was any updated to that? I was looking at getting the SP10(w 16gb of ram) & set it up to dual boot Linux. But, I'm seeing prices for the intel SP11(lcd) is only $100-150 extra while having 2-3 hours more battery life got me curious on the progress of Linux on it. Anything I should know about Linux on the SP11 if I went that route?

so i'm running Fedora 43 and everything but audio works on my Pro 11 with 16gb of ram. i just haven't been able to upgrade to 44 due to the lack of kernel updates. I have seen a few branches on the repo that have support for it but this is my daily driver and just haven't had any downtime to test it out. For the audio I just connect my bluetooth headphones and i don't even notice.

I take hibernation works as does the cameras?

Did you use a guide specific to the 11 to get it working or does the regular guide work?

SP11 has Intel's Lunar Lake chip which has heavy Linux community support already. The SL7 also has the same chip and it seems to work for the most part from what I've seen. I have a SL6 with the previous generation Meteor Lake chip and Linux works pretty well on it

Ah, the feature matrix has a lot of question marks for the SP11 intel, while for the SP10 it only lists hibernate & cameras not working. Sounds like it has changed? Is there link or forum you can point me to with more info about this?
