linux-surface VS linux-surface

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.

```

while inotifywait -e modify,create,delete,move $INPUT;

There's support for Linux on the Surface range:

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.

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.

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.

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.

So with the help of this wonderful article (https://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface/issues/495) I managed to get the button(s) on my Surface pen switched around so the correct button acts as a right click.

I even finally figured out how to swap the stylus buttons so that I can get a "right click" out of things thanks to this article.

There's clearly some people talking about this sort of thing. And it's a surface, so chances are you don't want to use the main kernel.

Have you done much Googling? I found this bug report talking about Surface users having issues with suspend. Looks like doing hibernate, instead, works?

I had a similar issue on my Surface Pro 3 which resolved after doing a clean install of 21.04 (was on 20.04). I also installed the custom kernel for the surface, and it's been working like a charm ever since.

I stumbled upon this Github Issue: https://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface/issues/415

From what I have been reading on the old jakeday kernel's Github issues, connecting1 monitors2 with3 the4 surface dock5 has had it's problems.
