I'm running CachyOS KDE on my Surface Pro 6. Cachy screams on it. If you don't need the touch screen, you don't need the linux-surface kernel and can get all the benefit out of hte Cachy kernel.
Is "screams" good or bad? Could be either!
It screams as in a sports car flying past you, not as in someone being stabbed to death. :)
Excellent!
