For Surface hardware compatibility, check this out. I have a fully working touchscreen, pen and all, on my Surface Pro 4 running Mint thanks to this project. Essentially, it’s just a different kernel you install through your package manager that replaces the default for your distro. Let me know if you have any questions. https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/

Nah, people are way too lazy and complacent.

Probably vim. It works fine out of the box but it took me way too long to figure out things like why my terminal colors were never quite right out of the box (had to set it to 256 color mode or what have you). And once I wanted to use some a few plugins the configuration started getting a bit convoluted/confusing. Hoping I have time some day/remember to figure out how to disable that annoying visual paste mode or whatever it is called that sometimes makes using it over SSH a nightmare.

Honestly, Google Keep notes. Trilium server runs as a UWA on Android but it’s pretty ass. And things like Obsidian are way too much for something me and my (non-technical) SO use to share notes

Did not expect the ethoslab shout out, I fell off a while back but I followed his videos pretty religiously for many years back in the 2010s; even when I was going through times where I burned myself out on playing MC.

Dude is super wholesome and I loved how his videos kinda just felt like hanging out with a friend. Ive checked on him since and I respect that he has not changed at all, love him dearly. But it just doesnt hit the same for me as it did back then. I hope he keeps doing what he loves as long as that’s still the case!

Steve is a great guy, super down-to-earth and just pleasant to follow in whatever he is doing.
