Will Surface pro 3 be accepted by open source developers?

I bought surface pro 3 i5 few months back, and currently I use it for everything. Its a very good device ( other than heating issues which are related to software issues ) .
I am running windows 8.1 ( nice but not more than that), Ubuntu on virtual box ( like it but not 100% optimized so a bit slow)

On every YouTube video or conference that include new startups or open source developers + DevOPs you never see anyone using surface but actually majority of them use Mac

Why is that ?

Maybe now that .net is going open source, things will change ....
