I have HP 255 g8 with Ryzen 5700u and ax210 WiFi card running Linux flawlessly like it was meant to be, bought configuration with 8gb ram 256gb ssd and freedos preinstalled for 500$ few years ago, immediately upgraded ram to 16gb and ssd to 1tb and slapped arch btw on it, my laptop never touched windows that’s what i can say for sure and it support Linux like it was meant to be
It’s likely a difference of bloatware for HP. For Surface. I really don’t understand how they could have made it any harder for someone to work on their products when they have issues.
I’ve quickly learned that Microsoft’s own hardware is the absolute worst at running it’s own software. Well shit maybe not HP but it’s pretty bad.

How so? I’ve owned a Surface Pro 4, 7 and 8 and a Laptop 4 and they’ve been rock solid for me.
