A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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.

Hasn't that project been around for quite a while already?

Is Surface arm or x86?

Just asking for my personal curiosity, that why you don't use immutable version of Fedora?

X86. Because I like tinkering with my system and kinda see no purpose in Immutability for me.

Been using it with a SP9. Overall it's been a great experience, but not perfect. Cameras don't work, shutdown doesn't work properly when connected to power and the rotation is funky. I knew what I signed up for though as it is a very new device.

Still much better than using windows
