Thank you.

I followed the instructions and the camera showed up.

Also Gnome 43 supports touch out of the box.

Now my setup looks great!

Fortunately, I have kept this “feature” disabled since it was introduced to browsers.

I don’t know how does it look like, how does it function, and how annoying it is.

I’m tired of blocking memes. Multiple instances and multiple communities.

I got UGreen. Working rock solid for about a year 9-5.

It has power pass through to charge the laptop.

I don’t think so. I had to install intel iGPU firmware manually for Debian 12.

I did upgrade from 11 though. I don’t know if that would make a difference.

Mann .. screen scaling irritates me. I installed KDE plasma since it’s supporing fraction scaling.

However, its a 10” screen so 100% is too small 200% is too big. So I compromised and choose KDE 125% and now somethings are small some are big.

Sure.

Any recommendations?

It’ll be a tablet for school stuff like ms teams and light browsing.

Touch friendly GUI is a plus.

I see.

Ill look for the best distro that supports surface hardware better.

To be honest, even with all of these issues, linux is far ahead in terms of speed and reliability.

I didn’t know different distros supports different hardware.

I thought it’s sorta baked theme.

This is the result after 2 installs and days of tinkering.

No, I’ve only tried Debian. I’ve installed linux firmware packages and added non-free in sources. Also, installed surface firmware from github.

I spent 2 days making intel iGPU hardware acceleration working btw.

The touch is working, however, it’ll behave differently with each element. Sometimes would scroll and sometimes select.

Even though Windows works flawlessly, Id prefer broken Linux over it.

Basic features wouldn’t work properly if not at all.

I just installed Debian 12 on my Surface Go 2. The camera isn’t working, touch is broken, casting screen not working, on screen keyboard isn’t working.

Mind you I’m a full stack developer and i have a linux server at home so I have decent technical knowledge and a little bit of time.

More subscribers.. check More comment.. maybe check Quality content.. nah

I use RSS to get r/selfhosted post and I can guarantee that most posts are amateurs asking questions.

Try to selfhost tailscale

You can set it up in 10 minutes.

In iOS, you can make automations to connect after launching certain apps.

In Android, you can do split tunneling.

I use RSS to get feeds for subs that are not active in lemmy.

Many posts are dog shit level now. Either looking for help or just garbage.

Check out r/lemmino lol.

The issue is that educating people is not easy as it sounds. Also, if you’re rich, you can influence the people who vote.

Take Alex Jones as an example, he managed to convince someone to commit a crime. Look up Sandy Hook incident.

Also, Trump and Jan 6th.

You can see a pattern here. More resources means more influence thus manipulating people easily.

Exactly!

I just know it did exist.

One good example is Germany. If the government didn’t phase out nuclear power as the citizens wanted they would have been in better place now.

Sometimes voting and democracy isn’t ideal as it’s easy to influence people if you have enough resources.

Agreed about corruption.

But some systems are better than others.

In USA, as a billionaire, you can screw people and lobby aka “bribe” to get what you want.

And at the end, you pay 0 taxes.
