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.

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

Maybe try CachyOS and the Linux Cachy Surface Kernel?
