Thanks for these insights. From my laymen experience with Linux, I am a bit fuzzy on all the distros and variants. What’s the major difference between Ubuntu (or whatever distro) and what you described? From your perspective

Sounds like it’s a bust to use terminal on a tablet. Damn.

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!

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 sure did. That’s why I was surprised. Thank you!

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

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.

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

On this Surface Pro, touch, rotation, and even the pen is working! I didn’t expect it to just work and it is.
