Is it not a lemming?

I've got a different model but as others have said the linux-surface kernel is key, and their GitHub page has detailed compatibility info and installation instructions. I picked Fedora having never used it before because it was well-supported and I've got no complaints.

More critical than distro is desktop environment. A few people were recommending Gnome but they must be a bit out of date now as I didn't have a great experience; incompatible extensions, missing gestures, and generally a worse feel than Windows! I've just installed KDE Plasma Mobile and it's great, feels more like Android and has way more features.

The linux-surface installation instructions will walk you through this, but I'd just download the Fedora Plasma Mobile spin, put it on a USB drive, boot it to check you like it (though expect that a few things might not work properly until you install the linux-surface kernel), install it (you can dual-boot with Windows if you think you might need it or just replace the whole OS if you're concerned about space), and then install the kernel.

Happy to try and answer any more questions about installing!

Lol fair point. A couple of the newer characters I remember being easier too, Aria is impossible though.

Bard is good for learning the mechanics at a slow pace (if I remember correctly, it's been a while!)

Everyone remember to be kind to the newbies, not assume that they immediately understand how the fediverse works, and not to talk about your favourite Linux distro until the second date

This is such a small thing but it infuriates me every time I have to use Microsoft's stupid "docs" site. Great QoL feature if it works!

What's with the image?

Good to see Space Cadet Pinball still there!

Just one of the reasons that Teams is horrible to use!

The reason is that it's great for collaboration and sharing info

I don't do modern consoles, do people consider 30fps acceptable?

I also tried loading it on my laptop and it just stuck on the coloured horizontal lines
