If you have installed Linux on a Microsoft Surface Pro, what was your experience?
  • I have a surface pro 6, bought used for cheap. With the surface Linux kernel, almost everything works.

    I built support for the front and rear cameras using the surface Linux instructions and they work, however it's not a working solution, since ms Teams pwa or discord can't use libcamera devices.

    One thing you should be aware of, though, is that the tablet experience is only really workable in Wayland, so you'll have to forgo non-wayland apps and desktop environments. Gnome is... not great.

    Also, there are several gotchas with wayland. I use flameshot for screenshots, which is broken on Wayland with scaling. Scaling also breaks default firefox on Wayland.

    Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into a Wayland comment.

    The hard work the folks at surface Linux have done is amazing, and I'm happy to daily drive my surface.

  • Microsoft’s latest security update has ruined dual-boot Windows and Linux PCs
  • EFI can also live in firmware memory.

    You can pull the linux drive, boot from the windows drive, and if one of the firmware updates was for efi, windows will trash the entry for your Linux disk.

    This has happened for me many times, I had to use a grub rescue disk to rebuild the efi table.

  • Thoughts so far
  • Everything after season 5 is hollow, like the jokes are being written with a laugh track in mind. Its just not as clever. This season is no exception.

    Consider Old man Waterfall defending Zoidberg: "I request a Satanic funeral." "Boooo!" This the culmination of a running joke about American freedom values to "do what you want, but not like that."

    To season 6 opener: "Professor, my Fry-fro..."
