I finally got around to giving my old Surface Laptop 2 a second life with Linux. I went with Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition, and I’m really glad I did.

    Sounds like it was an issue with their specific device. Never had a WiFi issue running Mint on my Surface for years.

      It didn’t work for me on my Surface Pro 7 with LMDE but i had an Ethernet adaptor and when i did an update it all worked.

      To expand a little it worked on the initial LMDE install but I did the Surface Pro update from git hub

      and it borked the wifi driver but it did give me touch support, better BT etc and an udate via the Ethernet adaptor then fixed the WiFi issue
