But it’s unlikely to be great at Linux out of the box. The Surface families have a history of doing things their own way, which means being poor at running Linux until people reverse-engineer things. Per https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supporte..., Surface Laptop 3 (AMD) still isn’t perfect: like most of the Surface families it requires a special kernel for most stuff to work, and the touchscreen and pen support don’t work (admittedly functionality outright missing from most laptops, so perhaps not a big deal), and if you suspend it, you need an external keyboard to wake it up again!
Also I’m shocked at the price hike from 16GB RAM, 512GB storage to 32GB RAM, 1TB storage: it goes up from AUD 2931 to AUD 4399. A $1,468 increase. I would consider $468 not unreasonable (even though the retail cost delta on the actual parts should be more like half of that), but it’s like they hoped you wouldn’t notice them slipping an extra $1,000 onto the price. But then, given that the second and third configurations increase the first’s $1,699 by $425 to increase 128GB of storage to 256GB (that’s more than even Apple charge for such things!), and then by another $255 to increase 8GB of RAM to 16GB, perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised. Still am, though.
>So having enough beef to push 1 gigabit NICs is good but planning for the future and adding 2.5 gb or higher is better.
I'm using I5-2500K's for firewalls. 1 gigabit hardly moves the CPU usage. I have all NIC offload turned off.
Btw. I would really consider OPNsense instead if you are building custom firewalls. Pfsense is an atrocious company. Trying to kill off OPNsense by buying domains that tell lies and AFAIK no one outside Netgate can actually build from source. They are not open source even though they claim so.

Ah yeah, I have similar feelings.
BumbleBee was promising at one time:

But seems kind of dead now.
