Surface Laptop 3 running Kubuntu, such an improvement over what it was "designed" for.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm sure it is an improvement until... you've to use Wine to run something Windows only or a VM and end up on the exact same spot as initially but with extra steps and less performance. 😂 😂 😂
I don't need it for windows applications, its basically something I can use for light photo and video editing and uploading to my server, all the heavy lifting is done on my PC which has windows because of adobe and better support for X264 and X265 when video editing.
Okay that's fair. So this this the solution, fallback to a second machine running Windows? :P
Well in that case; My windows PC falls back to a server running Linux as that's where all my files are, where my docker containers and VMs all run off.. I can spin up a new PC in minutes (windows or Linux) as everything is done off the server, including staging my devices.
