Did you get the touch screen work flawlessly? I tried Zorin with my SP7, but even with the surface linux kernel properly installed, the touch input was greatly reduced, pen too laggy to draw accurately enough, and you could not turn the hand touch input off, for when the pen is near.
linux-surface works well enough for me to turn comics pages and giggle like a kid using OpenComic, but I haven't extensively tested Krita, no, not much of an artist.
Thanks for the answer. I have been searching, has anyone gotten it to work well enough as an artist, but so far I have had no luck... the SP-Linux userbase does not seem to overlap that much, with digital artists. Personally I use my SP7 a lot for drawing, so I am still stuck on Windows 10.
I have messed with it as a notebook, and yeah there's no palm protection, I did have some luck plopping a thin notebook under my palm to keep it from triggering it while writing but the novelty worn off.
