Second this. I run it also on my old Surface and love it. Wish I had done it many years ago.

New users shouldn't forget to install some battery management application. That also made a huge improvement in the experience.

I like it enough that soon I'd like to get a used Dell convertible and do the same thing with it

i would image that the battery life by this point is at least sub par and i hate knowing that so much that i've taken efforts to ensure that all of my hardware comes with self-serviceable parts like the battery and the drives.

I have an old Surface Pro 3 running Pop!OS. I used to use it a ton, but I haven't actually touched it in a while. I just started using my work MacBook for everything

I run pop os on an HP envy convertible. I wonder if that surface tools thing my help with some of the scrolling, gestures issues, which is litterally the only issue I've had with a gnome touchscreen
