Get your facts straight

Surface pro 2 has such terrible battery life and very little processing power, it's an awful device.

The only benefit to windows is its ability to run graphical drivers well, otherwise it benchmarks worse in every other aspect.

Why anybody would want a mobile device with windows, is beyond me.

Windows is quickly dying. We are seeing AMD/Intel/Nvidia move to Linux in the near future. This is where the future of computing is.
My Surface Pro 2 works rather well. The battery is not terrible. It's not great, but it is an older tablet. The new Surface has good battery life and is better. But then again, I get a lot of good use out of it.

What tablet is it that you have? Did you buy a tablet with Linux on it or did you buy a Windows tablet and put Linux on it?

Windows works well. The one thing give a good laugh is the Linux repository. There are so many of them with botched versions of Calibre. Windows users don't need a repository as we know to go to the Calibre website to download the correct version of Calibre.
