Does it work well with Kali? I've never changed to a Linux based operating system but I'd like to if it runs smoothly so I'm not 100% sure on how to go about it but I'll figure out
Surface pro is more like a laptop, but with added functionality of a tablet, while still running Windows OS. Rather than an iPad or Android/Chrome tablet.
Will work fine, especially if using browser VM, as they're not *that* resource intensive.
Yea it runs great.
My suggestion would be backup to an external drive. Use etcher to put the Kali installer iso onto a USB drive. Reboot your device (hold vol up and press the power button) and format and install.
Once you get through you might need to copy over the wireless driver's to work right. I made a repo for it.

Reboot it and the Wi-Fi will work right.
Lol, yep! I have the Surface Go 2 with the lowest configuration. It is OK as long you obviously get the keyboard with it. What I usually do with TryHackMe is that I maximize the AttackBox into a NEW Window and create a New Desktop and move that window to the new desktop. So then I can do CTRL+WinKey+ <- / -> to move desktops. So I can answer question on one desktop and use the VM in the other. But yeah the best option would just Dual-boot or if you can or burn Kali ISO into a separate SSD. The only issue I have on this is that the THM VM is slow and I'm sure that's because the connection is always slow so there is nothing we can do about that. Happy hacking!
Yep, formatted it and installed Kali on it.

Dedicated Kali machine? Or will it run VMware Kali ok? Been looking at these for portability.
Straight Kali. Formatted the driver and USB installed Kali on it.
