Can't get touchscreen to work on SP8
I followed the instructions on https://github.com/quo/ithc-linux and didn't get any error messages, but even after trying multiple times and restarting often, it still won't work. Any ideas?

Touchscreen touches recognized as dragging
I have a Surface Pro 8 running on the open source linux-surface kernel. I'm running GNOME 42.5 on Wayland, and the ithc + iptsd packages to get touch to work.

I Finally Found a Solid Debian Tablet: The Surface Go 2
> The biggest difficulty with a standard desktop GNU+Linux on a tablet is that most distributions are not optimized for easy tablet use - KDE Neon User Edition e.g. does not come with a virtual keyboard preinstalled.
Ubuntu 22 on a Lenovo X1 Fold gave me the OSK without installing anything - though the touchscreen was not supported by default, the driver is under work cf https://github.com/quo/ithc-linux
- Which Linux Distro?
- Will there ever be touch support for Surface 7 and 8 in the future? Or will it forever be unable?

Good news for SP7+ & SP8 coming? - Linux driver for Intel Touch Host Controller
I don't use a surface but lurk on here occasionally, looks like there's starting to be touchscreen support for the SP7+ & SP8: https://github.com/quo/ithc-linux

Tabby is an infinitely customizable cross-platform terminal app
> Yeah... xterm with a few tweaks (and some pruning) would still be best for me.
Check https://github.com/csdvrx/CuteXterm for my bag of tricks :)
xterm offers the best emulation, period. The developer is reactive and maintain high quality standards. The only real issues for me are the lack of configurable shortcuts, and ligatures. wezterm is a good option if you need these, and don't depend on xterm perfect emulation.

Start your xterm with the right flags and it will.

I Finally Found a Solid Debian Tablet: The Surface Go 2
> Surely you need AHK because Windows is less configurable
No, because it lets me do remap like having Caps be both Control and Esc - and I do the same with Enter being both Control when used with another key, and Enter alone. My Alt keys are Alt keys when used with another key, or Home/End when used alone.
> How are you using terminals in Windows? Like you want to SSH from a fresh install, what do I do?
Install openssh from the windows settings (check https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administrati...)
I'd recommend the latest Windows terminal from the Microsoft store, or mintty from msys2, but that's just for comfort :)
> I find Linux superior here, but interested to learn why you're the opposite; maybe I'm doing it wrong
I like sixels, so I prefer mintty, but even without sixels, I find the Windows experience better: I want cute fonts with ligatures in my terminal. I want proper support of bold, underline, italic. I want multiple tabs. I want to map key actions to everything - like, I want my terminal to change its color profile and font with just 1 key.
That's very hard on Linux. That's easy on Windows.

what windows features that have no equivalent in linux?
If I was feeling playful, I'd point you to https://github.com/csdvrx/cuteXterm and grab some popcorn while you turn red and pretend it doesn't matter and we could have a fun debate.

Show HN: Sixel-tmux displays graphics even if your terminal has no Sixel support
Apologies for misgendering you. My opinion that you come off like a windows fangirl was mostly due to the other rant you linked in the sixel-tmux rant: https://github.com/csdvrx/cutexterm#wait-i-thought-people-sa...
Here you mention some other things unrelated to terminals, and I was mostly addressing those. It seems to me you want a specific type of experience on Linux, but you can't get that, so therefore dismiss the merits of Linux. I think a lot of your impressions on Linux come from using an X11 based setup instead of Wayland. Completely different beasts, and I think a lot of your grievances would be solved by the latter.
For me, I cannot go back to Windows, ethical reasons aside: Sway on Wayland is perfect for me, and it's what I want out of my computing experience.
I actually agree with a lot that is written in those rants, particularly the VTE and gnome terminal situation. It's just your comments on windows vs linux came across as very personal imo, so I suppose I have retorted here with also a somewhat personal rant.
Also, I don't think either platform has many good terminal choices. Besides mintty, I don't think there are that many good (platform exclusive) terminal emulators on Windows. And on Linux, Foot is one of the few that meets my criteria, including top tier Sixel support (though Wezterm meets my criteria too if it wasn't so slow, hopefully it gets faster). But, for example, I could never really like mintty if I was forced to use Windows, because it lacks features I want.
What I'm trying to say: different needs, different use cases, different tastes. Sorry that my original rant came off so negatively to you and that I wasn't able to convey this point I was trying to make.
