Screen rotation on miix720
I'm using X in rootless mode and https://github.com/GuLinux/ScreenRotator to have automatic screen rotation.

Considering KDE Plasma (Ubuntu) on my SP6
I am using Arch Linux with KDE on my Lenovo miix-720 since more than one year. I have recently switched back from using Wayland to X11 (rootless) due to the fact that 1) calibre wasn't working very well with Wayland (and reading ebooks and magazines with calibre is the main use of this tablet pc for me) 2) I got a lot of crashes trying to use xounal++ (I still have to confirm that crashes do not happen with x11) I use onboard as virtual keyboard and https://github.com/GuLinux/ScreenRotator to automatically rotate screens and digitalizer with X (should I use something that is still maintained, instead) As display manager I use gdm, but I would like to try again sddm (when I tried it one year ago it didn't have a keyboard, or didn't permit to run rootless x11 or both) or lightdm (if I can use onboard and automatic screen rotation.Is it possible?) Everything works pretty well. I have created a monitor conf file under xorg to set up correctly the size of the screen so that now high dpi is correctly computed and I have set up the global scale to 150% (I cannot use more otherwise calibre start to misbehave again). If I manage to slightly increase the size of the minimaze, maximize, and close buttons and change the display manager, I would say that I am 100% happy with the kde on my surface like 2 in 1 touch device.

Screen Rotation Issue on Tablet
This is a bit of a weird one. I just installed Kubuntu 20.04 LTS on an old Linx tablet, and immediately ran into problems with the touchscreen: It wouldn't rotate automatically and the calibration was so badly off that it was unusable. The good news is, Screen Rotator fixed both those issues. The bad news is, it's got a bit confused: When I turn the tablet horizontally it flips the screen vertically and vice versa. Is there a workaround or an alternate app I could use?

Notes on My Remarkable Tablet
Apart from camera, almost everything is working correctly. Camera doesn't work at all.

I use this kernel, you can use this with most operating systems.
I use xournal++ for note writing, and using GNOME is necessary. KDE doesn't have support for screen rotation etc. When you use GNOME, make sure to disable gestures and screen edge detection, because that might occasionally cause problems.
So, the workflow is quite simple with xournal++, you run a `inotify` based watched which automatically compiles and pushes stuff on every save. I of course assume that only `xournal++` on tab can change those handwritten notes. You can get some fancier git logic if needed.

Microsoft's next Surface laptops will reportedly be its first true 'AI PCs'
There's support for Linux on the Surface range:
https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supporte...
But actual users seem to say it's a bit of a mixed bag.
If someone's looking for a laptop (that doesn't need touchscreen support), then Apple laptops are probably the better choice.

Surface Pro 2017 didn't boot USB flash drive(s) and system
How to get out of this situation? Links https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/issues/1240 - the same problem as I have and the same puncture, but the person managed to get out of the situation https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/16d40vs/kill_my_surface_pro_2017_need_help/ - my similar post in a nearby subreddit, but since I'm here, the problem turned out to be bigger than I thought

Should have you covered.
I went the 12” MacBook route which can also install Linux.

New Linux Tablet from Star Labs
I have a surface with Ubuntu and the Surface Kernel (https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface) , and it works really wonderfully. I will say, before installing the Surface Kernel, it was very janky.

Linux distribution on Surface Laptop?
I know about https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface but I'm looking for practical feedback from people who did the operation in order to orient my choice.
