I do take my trash with me but less functional design is a bad design.

I just installed linux-surface and gnome 43. everything now works.

I got familiar with Debian and it’s terminal commands so I think I might stick with Debian for now.

I installed linux-surface from github and gnome 43. everything now works.

Every other update would show an ad to use it. Also, you cannot remove it afaik.

First of all, I know other browsers keep update in about page, however, this is why I don’t use them. It wasn’t used to be in a burger menu tho.

Second, add-ons and theme isn’t saying exactly “extensions”. Also, it would take you to the last tab which is by default plug-ins. try it.

I like Firefox and I’d support the developers but they should stick to their roots to keep their current user base.

I use firefox and I like it but they have been dumbfying their UI and nagging users to use pockets.

Why on earth would I need to go to about window to update? Also, I don’t know where to find extensions so I just choose addons then manually go to extensions.

Thanks!!

I just installed it

Thank you.

I followed the instructions and the camera showed up.

Also Gnome 43 supports touch out of the box.

Now my setup looks great!

I don’t think so. I had to install intel iGPU firmware manually for Debian 12.

I did upgrade from 11 though. I don’t know if that would make a difference.

Mann … screen scaling irritates me. I installed KDE plasma since it’s supporing fraction scaling.

However, its a 10” screen so 100% is too small 200% is too big. So I compromised and choose KDE 125% and now somethings are small some are big.

Sure.

Any recommendations?

It’ll be a tablet for school stuff like ms teams and light browsing.

Touch friendly GUI is a plus.

I see.

Ill look for the best distro that supports surface hardware better.

To be honest, even with all of these issues, linux is far ahead in terms of speed and reliability.

I didn’t know different distros supports different hardware.

I thought it’s sorta baked theme.

This is the result after 2 installs and days of tinkering.

No, I’ve only tried Debian. I’ve installed linux firmware packages and added non-free in sources. Also, installed surface firmware from github.

I spent 2 days making intel iGPU hardware acceleration working btw.

The touch is working, however, it’ll behave differently with each element. Sometimes would scroll and sometimes select.

Even though Windows works flawlessly, Id prefer broken Linux over it.

Basic features wouldn’t work properly if not at all.

I just installed Debian 12 on my Surface Go 2. The camera isn’t working, touch is broken, casting screen not working, on screen keyboard isn’t working.

Mind you I’m a full stack developer and i have a linux server at home so I have decent technical knowledge and a little bit of time.

I use RSS to get feeds for subs that are not active in lemmy.

Many posts are dog shit level now. Either looking for help or just garbage.

Check out r/lemmino lol.
