My last try to acclimate with a #MSWindows OS was years ago after I left IBM when I bought a #SurfaceGo tablet. It didn’t work. Even though I liked the hardware, I didn’t use it.
Now I’ve given it a second life. I set it up with #Ubuntu #Linux using the #SurfaceLinux project.
Everything works fine but the pen. But Ian not sure if the pen still works at all.
How is your surfacelinux-journey going?
Hey folks! How is your surfacelinux-experience so far? Which hardware do you use and which distro brings the best experience at the moment in your opinion? (Currently I’m using Ubuntu on my SP9, but I’m curious if there are already equal or better options, since I’m not really a fan of Ubuntu…) Have a nice day! ~sp3ctre
So I'm trying out #Fedora 43's #KDE spin on my #SurfacePro 9 with a live USB. I know about #SurfaceLinux if I decide to go all in with it. The network browser in Dolphin seems to be using '.local' for my instead of the search domain configured in /etc/resolv.conf. This seems to cause authentication to fail trying to access shares. I can manually type in the right hostname, but curious why it's putting that '.local' in there at all.
How to deal with video projectors not supporting Surface's 3:2 aspect ratio ?
Hi, When connecting to a video projector in duplicate mode, the Surface monitor has to be set to a resolution with an aspect ratio of 16:9 because video projectors don’t support 3:2. Is there any way to keep the Surface monitor at optimal resolution and aspect ratio while sending a resized 16:9 video to the projector, i.e. displaying black borders on the external monitor instead of the internal one ? Thanks
Hätte ich nie gedacht: Ich bin begeistert von den Microsoft- Produkten Surface Pro 5 und den Jubiläums-Crocs!
Endlich gibt es für mich ein Super Linux-Tablet - die Hardware des MS Surface ist von beeindruckender Qualität und zu schade für den Elektroschrott.
Alle Vorbereitungen sind getroffen Windows 10 durch ein MX Linux, den MX Respin GNOME zu ersetzen.

I took a pristine Microsoft Surface Pro 6 tablet from 2017 that was about to be disposed, installed Ubuntu with the SurfaceLinux kernel, installed Bitwig, and... got a powerful, portable and responsive electronic instrument!

Spoiler: Bitwig works on a Surface Pro 6 tablet with Linux (yes, it turns out it’s a 6 and not a 5 as I thought). This is what I did, taking as a reference Installation and Setup · linux-surface/linux-surface Wiki · GitHub 🙂 Create a Windows recovery USB drive (because I had no access to the original password, recovery key, Microsoft account…) Go through all the Windows updates available (I ended up with Windows 11 from 2022 or something like that). Create a plain Ubuntu USB driv...
