I have a surface pro and one surface pro 3, each of them purchased as soon |
| 9 |
as they appeared in Italy and all of them with Gentoo running since the very |
| 10 |
beginning. |

Skipping the patches I had to apply initially for having all the HW working, |
| 13 |
currently in the pro 3 the running gentoo has a kernel 4.0.4 on which I retro |
| 14 |
applied the MS button module from a successive kernel release for the volume |
| 15 |
and power buttons to work and a patch for having both the cams working too. |

If you need I can send them both. |

I'm very satisfied with it (I have also the MS docking station) I use it for |
| 20 |
office and as DAW (with jackd) |
