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.

This reddit really grabbed my attention because ever since I uninstalled the chromium edge browser from my windows 11 computers, which I might add that's actually very easy to do by using this application: https://github.com/undergroundwires/privacy.sexy I've been looking for something labeled as a 'lite' version but seemingly I don't think anything exists like that. :-(

What makes this superior or more easy than https://privacy.sexy/?

As much as I love Linux, I am forced to dual boot with Windows so I have access to the uni's student licenses (adobe photoshop, harmony toonboom, maya, etc.). I used privacy.sexy to cut off a lot of the bloat from my Windows installation.

Disable your antivirus software - in most cases that's Windows Defender - you can easily get rid of it by using script from https://privacy.sexy/
