Linux Tablet?

inkbug I was initially quite tempted by MS Surface tablets but discarded them due to how difficult it seemed to get them working on Linux and strangely on Windows too.
I probably need to look closer at computer companies that also offer Linux installed OSs and drivers.
Part of my idea for using Linux is to be able to stay on a stable platform that gets updated regularly and keeps my hardware viable. Perhaps too much to ask for.

Axios Thanks for your suggestion.
After I installed it, I ran the suggested command. Some details flashed up on the screen too fast to read and then it just jumped down a line waiting for the next command without displaying any information.
Maybe I should try installing the GitHub drivers again, do a reboot and scan again.

Axios I installed the GitHub driver and rebooted. Can see networks but security password will not accept. When I shut down the tablet it hung. I will take a more detailed look at that later.
Also took another try with sudo lshw -C network and now have an output. I will post that up later as I don't have access to my computer right now.

Axios Somewhat later...
Tried tablet again, startup and shutdown are both fine. Results of sudo lshw -C network with GitHub drivers installed.

Still can't connect because it will not take my password, all very frustrating.

Axios Many thanks for what you have achieved so far. Never needed to do this sort of fault finding with Linux before, just lucky I guess.
Your suggestions are really appreciated.

Axios I think part of the lspci -nn -d 14e4 command got confused as an emoji. Unfortunately I don't know what I am supposed to be doing so couldn't just make a good guess.
Some of the problems with these drivers is that they are motherboard specific also there are both sdio chips and pcie chips which can make detection and usage of a universal driver a bit hit and miss.
I have the driver that worked on Windows so I might be able to determine from that what Linux driver I should be looking for. On one Ubuntu forum there was even the suggestion that the Windows driver instruction file could be renamed and used to enable the built in Linux drivers.
Food for thought.
Right at the moment I don't have a physical keyboard for my linx12 so things like renaming files and other simple tasks are a pita and have restricted what I can do to test out new drivers. If I can get the WiFi working in the end I will most likely record what was needed to make it work and then wipe and clean install, I have chopped everything around so much already that it is a wonder that it still boots.

Axios Oh right, well it just complained when I tried that.
lspci: -d: At least two fields must be given

I have done a bit of reverse engineering and have the build revision of the driver that worked on the tablet with Windows on it.

802.11ac WDI SDIO Adapter
Version: 1.596.13.0
Date: 25 July 2016
Size: 3.5 MB
INF file: bcmwdidhdsdio.inf

I wonder if it could be used to determine what Linux driver is required.

Tried the text file without any luck. On windows it required a specific driver and a specific .txt file to be manually loaded. It wouldn't work with a later or an earlier driver as far as my efforts showed.
Might need to admit defeat here and just use an external wireless adapter, that way I don't need to worry about loosing my WiFi every time there is an update.
