  • Arch and Gentoo - Best Surface Feature Support?
    5 projects | /r/SurfaceLinux | 6 May 2023
    Gentoo - I never did install it on my SP, and I'm pretty sure I won't now. I love Gentoo, and spent many a night compiling away, but when I started to look through things like editing the make.conf, I realized how much I appreciate Arch's approach. If you're interested in trying Gentoo on your Surface, there is at least some support in Gentoo for it, including this howto, this YT video, and this Gentoo overlay, (but again it's 2 years old).

    Also, the linux-surface overlay for Gentoo that I made is not officially affiliated with the linux-surface project. Thus its not officially supported by them. I may lurk around on the subreddit every once in a while but, you can report future issues on overlay's GitHub itself for better support.
  • Gentoo Linux - Part 2
    1 project | /r/SurfaceLinux | 8 Aug 2021
    If you already have Gentoo installed you can go ahead and add the overlay located here: https://github.com/Parinz/linux-surface-overlay.

    I would publish the guide in the overlay wiki itself as the the overlay wiki is meant to be a gateway for surface users to enter Gentoo in general, so you can check it out from there. Writing ebuilds are sure a challenge, I am by no means an expert on it. Help is always welcomed so, you can contribute lol. The tools are from here. Scroll down abit and you'll see some tools like iptsd (ported that already) for example.

  • Clang 14 toolchain

    Maybe try a not slotted llvm ebuild like https://github.com/linuxusergd/linuxuser-llvm-overlay from my overlay which compiles llvm together with clang and uses the stdlib from current compiler (libstdc++ for gcc and libc++ for clang).
