Welcome! :smile:

You could always try the free editions of Lite or Core first! :wink: That way, you can see if there are any boot issues or hardware incompatibilities. I did see some custom kernel for Surface 3's but, with another Ubuntu based distro so, I'm fairly sure it will boot. Having a touchscreen though, I think Core would be a good one to try first. I always try both though, just to see which works better :smirk:

You will indeed need the Linux Kernel for Surface 3:

Remember, the Surface was built specifically for Microsoft.

Switching from Windows to Zorin OS is a game-changer, isn't it? I made the switch a while back, and I haven't looked back since. The ease of use and the sleek interface of Zorin just clicked for me. If anyone's curious about making the leap, I found a great resource at https://operatingsystems.info/ that breaks down the differences between the two systems. It really helped me iron out my decision. What's been your experience moving over? Any tips or challenges you've faced? Let's keep the conversation going!
