Distros for tablets? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have a couple of Surface tablets that I'd like to put Linux on if possible. The one I want to try first is a 5th gen Surface Pro. If all goes well I would then try it on a Surface Go 2 and hopefully could keep the cellular access.

What resources are available for doing this? The little I've read so far makes me think that it is a buggy process and maybe not worth the effort involved.

Well, like I said, it works like a mouse. I haven't tried it in these applications, but I would assume there wouldn't be any pressure sensitive drawing.

It's possible I need to install the proper module for it. I haven't explored that yet because it's not really what I need.
