If you don’t want to mess with the surface kernel, I’ve had 100 percent compatibility with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. No different kernel required on all 5 of my surface devices.

Ubuntu is Debian with extra steps.

Garuda is great. It did get me addicted to the fish shell though and I’ve since moved back to windows for work reasons and I hate everything now.

As long as a gnome spin stays maintained. I’ve been using gnome for 8 years and I really don’t want to switch distros again.

I’d hop to this in a heartbeat. I do enjoy pop os and I’ve been looking for a reason to go back to Fedora since I’ve been on openSUSE for a while.

What sort of problems do you have with Fedora? I used it for years and my wife has been using it for a while with no complaints.

I’ve settled on openSUSE and Fedora. All my personal systems are currently on some version of openSUSE but zypper sucks so I’m considering the move back to Fedora. Oh and my son and wife’s laptops are on Fedora just cause I never moved them to openSUSE.

There’s a fork of QK called QUIK if you like that app but want something more updated. I personally use fossify though.

Going to be a weekend setup for me this weekend. I’ll make a post when it’s running with any weirdness I find.

Wow this is actually just what I was looking for.

I use fluent reader on all of my devices connected to my freshrss server back home.

I love tumbleweed and leap for my servers. I found out tumbleweed works on surface devices without having to use the surface kernel at all which was a big step I didn’t like doing on my laptop. Since then I moved all my stuff to opensuse stuff to keep it consistent across all my systems.

Most people don’t give a removed and just want a system that works. As a lot of distros switch to / have switched to Wayland I have never noticed any issues in daily usage of any of my devices, in fact my surface laptop 4 can’t do external displays if I’m running x11 but that feels like a surface issue not a display manager issue. Point being that the switch is happening and a majority of users do not care as long as their systems keep running, and in my experience there’s no reason to believe they won’t.

Not to my knowledge but every desktop environment has a different software diwnloader. For me it doesnt update through Discover on KDE.

It should update whenever you run a dnf update in the terminal

I’m not familiar with any differences the surface go might have from other surfaces I have used but the surface kernel has always fixed every issue I have had with them. I currently use a surface laptop 4 and I can’t even use Bluetooth without the surface kernel. As far as breaking the install goes, the instructions for installation and switching are truly as simple as copy and pasting 5 or 6 terminal commands. I really would recommend the surface kernel before any other fixes.
