Surface Go 3

I got a secondhand GO 2 a few months back, and it's been fine (much better than the Go 3 I have, which has a bunch of annoying glitches that haven't been resolved over the few years I've had it). To answer your questions: I nuked Windows immediately after verifying the system started up and worked,

It's not exactly what I would have done, but you can't go wrong switching to Linux on any device if your aim is to tinker and whatnot. I've not done this specifically, but the first concern that jumps to my mind is questionable support for things like the touchscreen. You'd likely need the linux-sur

What happened when you tried to install Windows 11? I have a Surface Laptop Go 3 that I use for goofing around with; currently it has either Arch or Debian on it. (I think the latter.) Anyhow, I tried installing Windows 11 using a USB that I made using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool. When it got to

Phosh is based on Gnome but is kind of a forked project that has taken a life of its own. Gnome mobile is actually Gnome, it’s just a set of patches and configurations on top of it to make it more mobile friendly. I had trouble figuring out how to actually install gnome mobile on my Debian Surface g

I fully understand your frustration, I once bought a Surface GO to give Windows on a tablet another try but only got a bad laptop and an even worse tablet. Even though Microsoft has rewritten large parts of Windows it still doesn't work as well on mobile devices compared to Android or IOS. One would

The tech loan program is great for some students! It does not have laptops though and the tablets are not up to spec for engineering, as OP is asking about. Like, the Surface Go 3 is lightweight and ideal for taking notes, but with only two cores and max 8 GB RAM, it’s not going to be great for the

I'm going travel soon, and that was the initial reason I bought the Surface Go 1. I'm disappointed they aren't continuing the line. A small PC like the Go with a file system is so much better to me than a tablet, Samung or Apple. I was considering the 12" as a replacement, but it's still heavier. I

If that's any "consolation", they were expecting people to use Word Mobile on their Surface Go (which are x86 tablets with full Windows) for years, they included it on new devices and the Office app that replaced it was also just a repackaged web app. It's not that they don't care about the iPad, it

microsoft also has the surface go line, which are very compact and just as much underpowered (i have the GO2). in the cost for a windows tablet, you should also factor in a keyboard and a pen. imo the OS is almost unsable on finger touch only. In the end i replaced my go2 with an android tablet and

My Surface Go 2 taught me that I should just get an Android tablet. Nowadays you can run a Linux VM within it + connect a Linux desktop to said Linux VM. With Satya Nadella running Microsoft, Windows's long time issues won't be getting fixed. You'll just get more cloud and AI up selling throughout t
