Yes and no. Back then, you got the ROMs from a group / individual / forum and it wasn't very much vetted like a distro coming directly from the linux community / canonical / etc.
Also, I can live without using surface pen (-: If you compare to Asahi and its maturity (a lot running, but not sound yet), LinuxSurface kernel have made a LOT of progress in making these devices even more usable compared to they handle Win11.
Once the drivers got into the mainline kernel, running Linux on surface has been a dream. Except for using the pen, IR-cameras, booting from USB...
I think there's enough of us to have a SurfaceLinux community here :-)
I had one of those too! Sturdy little guy, reminds me a bit of the first eeepc 701 :-) But I was worried about the replacement of the charger once it would die. Besides, I have had a bad experience of Surface-line longevity, they always seem to die suddenly after a while, so I sold it.
Holy crap! I have a n100 SFF that consumes 5-6 w idle (with WiFi on) and I have an old i5 (gen 6 I think) that consumes 30 at idle. Your rig is defiantly not meant to act as a server (unless you want to mine bitcoons or run boinc...)
OMG! I didn't even know about this, thanks! Will look into it, would be awesome to have ps command spit out things like I want them by default :-)
Thank you (and all others who replied), this worked flawlessly :-)
Ooo, fever API is now finally supported!
Edit: feverAPI is also deprecated, I guess I'll just use the web version of my rss-app on mobile instead
How does the flathub version perform? I noticed v2 can be run in the browser, and thought to give it a whirl in edge (under Linux, since it supports sync now).
The only practical thing they provide for me is slightly better readability, and eye candy (my prompt rely on them). I like my shells functional and pretty ๐
I don't care much for the terminal, but I noticed that I care a lot about my shell and the tools I use in it.
And the prompt - can't live without my ASCII bling-blink.
Foot
I was considering Foot, it is fast (renderwise and in interactive use) and the dev seems like an awesome person. But it doesn't support ligatures. I'll watch the issue and give it a shot when it's implemented.
That is so awesome. Do you still have one lying around? Those things have an awesome form factor, but the I/O ports are a little bit dated by todays standard ๐
