I’ve got a Surface Go 2 running Kubuntu and it’s been running fine. Performance overall seems to be better compared to Windows, and the touchscreen works fine as well.

I’ve experienced some kinks with the Surface Pen’s responsiveness in that sometimes drop-down dialogues won’t be properly selectable with the pen, it’s skipping options for some reason if I hover over one, so I have to use my finger instead.

Apart from that, I have an extra program for an on-screen keyboard since, for some reason, the pre-installed on-board keyboard is only available when logging on the device.

Most multitouch functionality is also available right out of the box, like pressing the screen with two fingers at the same time to simulate a right-click.

That’s so nice of you - likewise :)

Ooh, looking forward to it! 👀

Love your take and call to action. Appreciate it :) and I’m not surprised it’s coming from you either :)

Not sure of its origin, but it’s been called Bubatz in Germany for a couple years now, so I sometimes, mostly jokingly, say Bubatz. My SO and I usually say Bubert because couples speak or Weedle like the Pokemon because ‘weed’

Why are so many people here calling Spez “Spaz”? Isn’t that considered to be a slur similarly to the r-word?

Edit: Mind actually answering my question instead of mindlessly downvoting? Jesus

Don’t use thick lube for unresponsive yoyos and vice versa. Thick lube will make an unresponsive yoyo more responsive which you don’t want.

And don’t stress about playing a soulslike a certain way and don’t listen to gatekeeping haters. Play whatever way you want - it’s a game after all and you bought it for your pleasure

Hi :) it’s a niche community but I’m doing what I can

It’s sad that people have gotten used to just throwing away stuff instead of repairing it. Sure, some repairs really aren’t worth it - like the screen I’d gotten replaced of my LG G3 that was prone to have this defect with its screen regardless of screen swaps and whatnot - but most of the time, it’s just minor things that can actually be fixed by non-tech savvy person.

I think it should be of paramount importance that more companies are held accountable as to the amount of waste they’re producing and how much they’re contributing to pollution and waste around the globe. Unfortunately, capitalism is a thing, so that’s not gonna happen.

Having repairable options for those that do care is awesome, though. If I could afford, I’d gladly go for a Fairphone if I ever need to replace my current phone (still going strong after 5 years of use). Until their mass appeal, they’ll likely remain out of my pockets.

Amazing, thank you. I have uninstalled this bs twice now and have so far been spared by another force install. I hope this works

Nothing I could find immediately. I found an Arch Wiki entry which shows that most features work out of the box. Not sure if that’s your exact model and can’t comment on how reliable the information presented is too.

It’s a Surface Go 2, 8GB RAM, I think - maybe 4 - and a couple years old now. Haven’t tried, actually, since I rarely if ever need the cameras. However, I read that getting the cameras to work is a bit of a hassle. Not impossible but annoying

Finally, I can proudly proclaim that I’m no longer bound Microsoft’s bullshit. Been a rocky start, but I’ve been happily using Kubuntu on my Surface for a while now, and it’s going awesome

Maybe it’s an ingredient that you’re intolerant/allergic to? Your nose is connected to your pharynx after all, so maybe an ingredient that’s prevalent in bakeries or pastries triggers a reaction with you? Do you experience any other symptoms?

Thanks for your input. Maybe things have changed for the better? I doubt a github page with a detailed wiki and guide on how to setup the device for Linux would exist if the performance were as bad as you describe it. Then again, maybe there is a big difference between Go 1 and 2. I’ll give it a go and see if it works

According to the github page I’ve linked to, I shouldn’t need to install linux-kernel. Which Surface were you trying to install Linux onto? Thanks for the help :)

Hell yea

For sure! Just putting it out there, that’s all

Not to be that guy, but be the change you want to see in the world.

I’ve had some troubles getting soulslikes communities going on here and have gone from three separate communities at most cracking around 100 monthly users, I think, to more than a 1000. It takes some time and effort, but you’ll get there if you’re consistent and passionate about it. Plus there might already be existing communities that you can build off of.

Just some unsolicited “advice”, I guess
