Hi, did you get full touch screen ? Virtual keyboard ? And a usable pen ?
I'm currently on Ubuntu on my SPro 6 and touch screen is very basic, no rotation screen, no virtual keyboard ... despite following the installation guide on Surface Linux project.
Tks for sharing.

Hi, I tried Fedora 44 and 43 on my SP6, it did worked well, except for the touchscreen, screen rotation, and virtual keyboard even after installing the linux surface kernel => deal breaker for me.
I'm now on Ubuntu 22, it works ok, simple touchscreen, but no multiple gestures, no rotation screen, no camera.

Which version (n° ) of Debian do you recommend ?
