Notes on My Remarkable Tablet
Apart from camera, almost everything is working correctly. Camera doesn't work at all.
https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface
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.

Thinkpad X1 Fold gen1 - Linux - Update 2023
Touch on the fold is one of the reasons why I would want one. The issue on that is the Intel Precise Touch support on Linux. The work on that is detailed here: https://github.com/linux-surface/intel-precise-touch/issues/8

The foldable eagle has landed...
For the touchscreen you need the intel IPTS touch drivers made for the Surface devices, for the display just one kernel option and then you're mostly good

SP7 Multitouch and pen input issue
Hi there. Yeah, I have the same problem trying to update to the current branches, but I don't have the time to really dig in and figure out what's up. For now I've just reverted to the last versions that worked for me: I'm using the (deprecated) Quo branch, and this commit for intel-precise-touch.

Linux-surface kernel
In that case, it's new hardware and still unsupported :-( You might want to keep an eye on the GitHub issue tracking this; https://github.com/linux-surface/intel-precise-touch/issues/8

Surface Book 1 vs Surface Pro 7
Multi-touch and the pen still do not work on the SP7, and other Gen7 devices, but there is work being done on it. Touchscreen still works with single-touch.

Surface Pen on Ubuntu Help (SB3)
The awesome linux-surface team is working hard on it (you can follow their progress here if you're technically inclined), but its no small feat, so its hard to say when it will be supported and to what degree.

Updates on full functionality for SP7?
Well, I'm not a developer, but I am trying to keep somewhat up-to-date with the status of these things. From what I can tell, it looks like the camera should be working soon. At least there's been a lot of progress for everything earlier than the 7th gen devices, but I'm hoping the fix will work for the 7 too. See here. The pen looks to be stuck for the moment. It seems Microsoft/Intel changed things up in a hard-to-decipher way, so it's gonna be slow going unless someone from Intel gives them a hand. See here and here.
