The after is the more walkable and less car-centric photo right? I know there has been a push to reduce the use of cars and approach work has been done or make it more walkable or by bike.
That's why they are upset. It's so important they can't read it.

Sounds like it's a bust to use terminal on a tablet. Damn.
I was looking at Lenovo and this is good input. It sounds like everyone is not a fan of the tablet keyboard and the terminal is straight bollocks no matter the distro. I keep hearing Fedora and Wayland. I'm going to have to learn about them a bit more.
Xournal++ is amazing! It's really the reason a Linux tablet will work for me. I also appreciate using GB Studio and Aseprite with the pen. Makes retro game developing a lot more fun!
What changed to make it happen? I am so done with other OS and Linux does everything I need. I really need to learn more about what's happening and how to better use it so I can further customize and configure.
Ok this is getting to the question I had. I found a few YouTube videos that went into detail about updating the kernel. I was wondering what's the purpose when it was working as well as it has. I'm going to try to do this and follow the guides. Initially I had to overcome a BitLocker issue and a bug where I couldn't overwrite the partition. Once I finally got Ubuntu running I was ready to dive into making it touch compatible, but it was already there. I suspect this makes it even better
It sure did. That's why I was surprised. Thank you!
Ok, that makes sense. I suppose a Surface Pro is still kinda a computer with a touchscreen. Overall I was impressed with how smooth the experience was and look forward to it developing.
It worked immediately without much fuss. That's why I was scratching my head. Was it always this easy!? I'm enjoying the experience so far
Thank you, that gives me a direction to start researching. I've been wondering the experience and it seems like it has been developing.
On this Surface Pro, touch, rotation, and even the pen is working! I didn't expect it to just work and it is.
I'm 43 and not really starting using Linux. I've dabbled with distros on and off over the years, but I never made the full switch because work always had some program or policy that just wouldn't play nice with Linux. With all the crappy Microsoft decisions, bloatware, and ads I decided to try and use Linux exclusively on a personal device, and I'm absolutely loving it!
I've been working with Ubuntu as my main distro, and I've also been playing around with distros on a Raspberry Pi. To really challenge myself, I installed Linux on an old Surface Pro 3, and guess what? It just works! I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth the setup was and how well it performs.
I missing any key steps or tips to make the experience even better on a Surface? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I was planning to buy a new tablet that runs Linux but this is working better than expected. I'm really enjoying the flexibility and control Linux offers and want to keep this momentum going.
I have read up and tried plenty, just looking for some perspectives out there specific to your tablet experiences.
EDIT Thank you for all the suggestions and insights! I'm going to continue using the Ubuntu build for the next few months. Still lots more to learn, but I'm excited to see how this goes. I have everything setup I need to function as a Linux only tablet experience. <sigh of relief> no more dependency on Windoze.
EDIT 2 I have been using Ubuntu for a few weeks and it generally works. The touch has been great but I do notice it is a bit buggy at times and the virtual keyboard leaves a lot to be desired. I did read this article today that talks about their experience more on a Surface Pro 4. https://www.binwang.me/2024-07-12-A-Review-of-Linux-on-Surface-Pro-4.html
I read the title and thought, "Oh is this another ad for Linux?"
Did you try the Serrif suite of Affinity products? Photo, Designer, and Publisher. They helped me step away from Adobe design tools. https://affinity.serif.com
Yeah, Lemmy uploads made it this way. I even tried to correct it twice. When it didn't work I shrugged and let it be because ain't nobody got time for that shit.
I was thinking of making a pixel-like mural where I figure out how to use all the colors I have. I was thinking of crowd sourcing it with friends and acquaintances. Then I realized I would probably end up with a huge multi-color bottlecap penis mural in my shitty real-life remake of bottlecap r/place.
I guess it could unlock a special achievement to find it when the nukes fall.
So I started collecting bottle caps in college when I turned 21 with the rule that I had to be the drinker of the brew. 22 years later I'm still collecting and now color coding without purpose or end goal.
