But the salary has been adjusted for inflation, so the overall point is correct.

Unfortunately I have the surface book 1 but I am happy for people running Linux :)

Yeah, seems like a deal breaker to me. What do you even gain then? Performance improvements?

I have an old Surface Book 1. I have windows 11 on it and it works ok. I can’t run anything heavy on it of course but little web browsing and zoom meeting etc. works fine. I really enjoy the awesome camera and face id login. I am worried with Linux install, the camera will not be as good. If someone can confirm their experience on SB1, I can be convinced to install Linux on it.
