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.

Arch and Gentoo - Best Surface Feature Support?
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).

Failed to emerge sys-kernel/surface-sources-5.14.14
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
If you already have Gentoo installed you can go ahead and add the overlay located here: https://github.com/Parinz/linux-surface-overlay.

I freed my Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 and Apple iMac
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.
