This is absolute gold. Thanks for sharing
Since you mention ‘gaming’ first, I’d say go for the X3D. Overclocking Zen3+ CPUs is hardly worth the effort anyway, you’ll hit the point of diminishing returns real fast and hit thermal limits. Undervolting might give you better results though.
I’m using a second hand Surface 6 Pro (bought for €300 or so incl. keyboard cover), now running Arch (with linux-surface kernel) with KDE.
Everything works great! :) Doubles as a handy little vacation laptop too, and makes me want a touchscreen on my next laptop!
Please feel free to ask ahead if you have any questions about experiences or whatnot.
