I'm actually looking into purchasing a Surface Pro 7/8 to replace my current laptop, and was wondering about compatibility for dual booting
Its honestly very usable. Touch has some weirdness and I haven't gotten it working on my device but its one of the laptops not the tablets so I don't really care for touch. Look through the Table of Supported Features that OP linked to make sure whatever device you plan to pick up supports everything or is at least being worked on.
You can try latest iptsd build from GitHub Actions. It has has some patches that make touchscreen better.
Surface Pro 6 has better compatibility but 7 is also good!
