Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality!

FarLine99@lemm.ee to Technology@lemmy.world – 606 points –

I would like to share with you a very cool project that develops drivers for correct operation of Microsoft Surface devices on Linux. I myself use Surface Pro 6 with these drivers and everything works like a charm (battery life is good, cameras work, stylus, keyboard, touchscreen, screen). The developers are gods. From myself, I would recommend using Fedora Linux distribution, as I got the best battery life on it and didn't experience any additional bugs. If you don't like GNOME, you can try spins.

How does stylus support work? Are there good Linux apps for hand writing notes?

Xournal++ and Rnote are the best options for hand written notes. Both available as a Flatpak from Flathub.

With my limited experience cause I broke my pen tip, the support for the OS is good but almost no apps support it, beyond the FOSS artistry ones
