Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality!

FarLine99@lemm.ee to Linux@lemmy.ml – 318 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.

i run debian sid on a surface go and i love it. my daily driver, and one of my favorite PCs in a very long time.

Awesome. Is it stable (not breaking) experience for you? Debian Unstable anyway 🙂

a little funny since the freeze lifted due to the sheer number of new versions all appearing at once, but nothing is breaking. typical post-freeze hiccups - they subside quickly, nothing has gotten in the way of being productive, and im used to it after 23 years of running Sid.

23 years... WOW😲 We found another Linux Hardcore user 😃

i would think that 23 years of primarily running one distro would be more notable, haha

Speech, vocabulary changes. Hair falls out. There is a personal penguin 🥹🤣
