    I have only been a Linux user for one year and I already want to install it everywhere. The urge is real.

      Did you use that build that’s meant for Surfaces (the name is escaping me)? Or did you use a non-specialty OS and wrestle with the drivers?

      I’m curious because I have a 4 Pro and 6 Pro and I’ve been hearing mixed things about the touchscreen and the pen on Linux.

        I used Debian, there is a version for the Surface if you do some searching, after install you need to update the kernel for everything to work as it should. But it’s not that complicated, I just followed the guide that accompanied the update.

        As for the touch and pen. Both works fine for me. I did find a whiteboard software that recognized both sides as pen and eraser. Though I’ve been planning on trying to install one note and test that on the linux version. Just haven’t gotten around to it.

    I found a 2010 MacBook in a recycle bin. I happened to have a spare charger at home.

    I took it, installed Linux, and now I have 3 rescued laptops brought back to life with Linux.

    3 more and I’m going to start hosting LAN parties (WAN parties, I guess)

    So true. So, Yesterday I saw someone using their laptop, and there was like this Windows Lock screen. And I was like „WAIT why the fuck isnt a terminal there. And where is my waybar on the top? Are those really Windows floating there, what Kind of machorchist would spend a lifetime dragging around Windows in their Laptop monitor?”
