Is linux-surface kernel necessary when installing fedora 37 on WSLG2?
I just bought a go 2 (not laptop go) this weekend and installed fedora 37 on it. Almost everything worked without the surface kernel except the camera requires v4l2loopback kernel drivers to create a gstreamer device for apps that don’t support libcamera. There were only old versions available in copr but no surface kernel headers available so I couldn’t build the kernel modules. I switched to ubuntu 22.10 and got similar hardware support but more available packages. I’m still trying to figure out how to get the IR sensors to work so I can use howdy for login/sudo. https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy

when will PopOS support face id logins?
I've tried using Howdy, but that doesn't seem to work. It's probably because of this issue
-
Webcam very poor quality
Just like with digicams, it is not just about the sensor, but also the image processing itself. Should we omit the IR sensor to replace it with a better firmware-based noise-reduction system? But what about "Howdy" / "Hello" users, if we go this route?

Working/Switching seamlessly between Linux and Windows - Ideas?
There's something called winapps which works over RDP, but you better have good specs so you get good performance. I recommend using parsec with a VM if you can passthrough a seperate GPU otherwise. https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps
