The Surface Pro that Microsoft doesn't want to build. Hope it's priced right.

Let's hope that the firmware is pretty open to let latest Linux distro boot on it and use it fully.

I didn't know that Minisforum had a track of blocking Linux from working correctly. Where can I read more of this?

Sorry to phrase like that my wishful thinking, as far as I am concerned, Minisforum is pretty open and Linux friendly. However, when it comes to touch screens, that's where the firmware plays a bigger role and not always things are going as it should.

Ah, OK. Misunderstood you, sorry! If priced right, this will be the replacement for a friend's dying Surface Pro 6.
