Surface Linux question (lemmy.world)

I've already had lots of concerns about continuing to use windows, but recall and copilot in general send me reeling. I'd like to start migrating to Linux on both my machines, but right now it would be much easier to do so on my laptop than my main PC just yet.

The main concern I have is that I've had rough times with drivers on laptops running Linux, so I want to assess the QoL of Linux on Surface. I've dug around already on reddit and lemmy and seen some mention of the Surface Linux drivers that exist, but I'm hoping to get a personal account of as close a scenario as mine would be.

I'm big on KDE Neon, and I want to run it on my Surface Laptop Studio. Can anybody tell me if you've done the same or similar, and how is it? What's the most trouble you've run into?

I've been using PopOs on my surface for ages, but I'm not sure how much help I'd be since mine is a Surface Pro 3... I do believe, as the other person said, that you no longer need a custom kennel for things to work

Does the pen work as expected? I have a surface pro 3 and am also interested in changing to linux.
