Bought a Surface Pro and immediately installed Linux on it lol
This is the way. I actually have a Surface Go 3 that I use for a tablet/travel system running Solus Plasma and love it. It upsets my brother-in-law who works for Microsoft, so bonus.

Surface Go 3 slow booting up finally solved!
I was running the latest Win 11, 25H2, on my Surface go 3 tablet. The boot time was forever. Affinity Studio took 2 minutes. Word, longer than a minute. My PDF editor took over two minutes.Overall the sytem was very slow, even allthough I removed CoPilot and did a full reset. So I removed Windows 11

Surface Go 2 - tell me what to do?
Hi. I used an Asus Zenpad z300m for about 8 years before the battery literally split the case. I wanted something a bit more robust as a replacement. I recently bought into the Surface go 2, 8gb/M3/Win11pro. I had to return a few to get one that worked okay. My idea was that the Android's just didn'

Apps for Ipad similar to Paint Tool SAI or a way to use SAI on Ipad?
I don't use Apple products so I unfortunately don't have a suggestion there, but I've been using SAI on Surface tablets (the Surface Book 2 and Surface Go 3) and it's been great!

Alpine linux as desktop os
It's pretty decent- using it with KDE Plasma on a Surface Go 3. It's by far the most responsive this mess of a tablet has been (way better than on the stock Windows 11) and most things I've needed have worked. Though, Eclipse was kinda messy to setup since the flatpak still tried to use my system's

Why is this distro so hated?
For me, the experience on my Surface Go 3 has been pretty decent. A few inconsistencies here and there (no ability to change Cosmic Icons in themes, touch not recognised on certain Cosmic based apps, no native screen rotation, etc..) but otherwise pretty solid. I don't use the tablet very regularly

Best Laptop to Buy?
I have a Microsoft surface go 3, and I absolutely love it. Price was a factor when choosing a laptop for me too and find it is compatible for everything I need. It is pretty light weight, a good size and almost looks like a MacBook! totally recommend also because we use a lot of Microsoft related pr

SGO 1/2/3 users, any suspend battery drain?
Microsoft's fault. Surface Go 3 doesn't support deep sleep, so just turn of your device when you don't use it. Though I did notice better battery life on Debian compared to Fedora.

Has anyone tried PopOS 24.04 on their surface?
I use PopOS every day on my Surface Laptop 4. It's excellent. I have a backup dual boot Windows, that I use about once per month. Not so successful with my Surface Go 3 as a tablet.

Why doesn’t the spore mod api launcher load the mods when I launch it?
that is honestly a kinda funny thing to say considering that linux is at an all time high marketshare on Steam right now and how Valve released a very popular Linux handheld too. (not to mention that a lot of stuff is just plug and play on Linux now, speaking from experience. a Surface Go 3 tablet t
