Your specific examples are special cases. The Surface is essentially a “Windows 10 machine”, and while Apple permits installation of Windows on Macs, other operating systems are specifically not supported. (And macOS is already BSD-esque anyway.)

These instructions will work fine on any normal, generic, PC laptop.

Unless you're on older unsupported macbooks, I'm not sure I'd run something that wasn't macOS unless under a VM. That's just me. Although, I don't like a lot of the direction, or lack of with macOS.

I'll probably put a new system together around mid next year (leaning Ryzen 2 near release). Will decide on Hackintosh, Linux or BSD at that time. Most likely hackintosh, but who knows. Linux (Elementary and Ubuntu) are finally around where I would want it for a primary desktop.

I was merely stating the general work-machine distribution in my direct and indirect environment. Perhaps they are special cases from the OS standpoint, but from the people point of view, those are the devices they have.
