said Thierry de Coulon: | So, for information: | | I've purchased a second hand Surface Pro - and of course installed | Linux. | | I've installed Debian 9, with Gnome 3 and TDE. | Touchscreen works out of the box (but is impossible to calibrate if | rotated) Keyboard works out of the boy (inclusive backlight) | Touchpad works out of the boy (but is not good) | | WiFi (Marvell) works once firmware has beein installed and Network | manager's mac randomization has been turned off | | Autonomy seems not too bad (over 5 hours, that's less than Windows 10 | pretends to give). | | Suspend and Hibernate work (using systemctl) | | There are two things I would still like under linux/TDE: | | - bigger windows decoration | - A way to make the system ignore had-touch when using the stylus. This | works under Windows and makes anotating a document much easier. | | The stylus works great (and is actually compatible with the one I use on | the Thinkpad X220T). Strangely this stylus works on the Thinkpad's Wacom | *and* the surface's digitizer, but the later is not identified as Wacom | - maybe just a different identifier that should be set in the driver | code? | | With a core i5, 8GB RAM and a 256 SSD for the equivalent of $300 that's | not bad.
That sounds very promising -- I'll see what I can find in a Surface Pro for not a huge amount of money.
Thanks very much for the update!
