I have the Go gen 1 with 4 Gb ram, for the exact same user cases ad you described.

The compatibility with Linux is great, but be mindful that you need a Windows installation to boot from USB (!). But the pen and touchscreen works out of the box.

The performance though is not the best, boot can take some time. I’d say forget about YouTube. But light coding and non-demanding websites could work. The form factor is great though… 😊

OP, if you’re interested in buying a used one, we could perhaps arrange something, if you live in Europe? Message me in that case.

PS. A Linux surface community would be great, I’d happily join it!

That’s not even the bigger problem. I found the desktop ui very clunky. There were too many papercuts for me to keep using joplin. However, its TUI and mobile app are excellent.

I work in IT and I need this. This field is vast and sometimes it’s hard to know what you don’t know, or how well you know what you know.

Sure, there’s certs, but they just show how well you’re familiar with that particular field (or worse yet, that you know how to pass that particular test).

In Sweden (and most European countries?) you need a two year education (1,5 yr theoretical, 0,5 yr field training) before you can work as a police officer. I think in parts of US the training is just a matter of weeks/months, which is very little considering the situations one need to handle.

Both Stockholm and Gothenburg are really nice cities - they’re pretty safe too unless you seek out drug lords or park your bike without a decent lock. Just don’t come here during the winter - you’ll be depressed by the lack of daylight.

I subscribed to wallabag, but there are so many rough edges I gave up on it after six months. Terrible experience 😕

I use omnivore for longer articles and highlighting parts of the text. It also have a plugin to sync with obsidian. It’s really good, but I imagine self-hosting it can be tricky.

For a link-dump, I use Shiori. Could be anything vaguely interesting but I want to take a look later - works wonders for that.

And I have been a former pocket user, wallabag… But I stick with omnivore and Shiori.

Have you tried a low-code database, such as nocodb? I tried satisfy my need for structures data that way and it works for simple usecases. There are formulas too, but they (like spreadsheets) require some knowledge to set up.
