I recently got a Surface Laptop 2. It's a well designed device and I like the larger screen and slick feel. I like it better compared to the new MacBook Pro at work. Overall,I have gotten quite fond of the Surface Laptop over the last 3 months.

Can you install Linux or FreeBSD on it?

Haven't tried, but I assume it's possible. I'm running Ubuntu in VMs.

From what I have read, to install Linux / BSD you have to first disable SecureBoot. And even then, many features still don't work. So that makes a Surface a dud for any OS other than Windows.
