Getting touch screen support for Linux on the MS #SurfacePro7 should not be this difficult.
Microsoft is selling screens, batteries, SSDs, and more for DIY Surface repairs - Enlarge / The Surface Pro 8's replaceable SSD.

Okay, next hurdle in my #linux #surfacepro7 journey! I've successfully got Mint on a USB and have managed to boot into it manually. (see "Make this surface start from a USB drive" here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/boot-surface-from-a-usb-device-fe7a7323-8d1d-823d-be17-9aec89c4f9f5
I've also successfully booted into UEFI and changed the boot order so "USB Storage" is on top.
Per Step 4 in these instructions: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installation-and-Setup) I've set secure boot to allow non-MS signatures ("Microsoft & 3rd party CA").
But when I restart, Windows boots up. :(

Apparently #Fallout3 from #GOG should work with an XBox 360 controller. It doesn't. Got a new cable for it but can't get it to recognise it. There seem to be some #Steam instructions, but I didn't get it on Steam... #RetroGaming #Windows10 #SurfacePro7

Installing updates on my #SurfacePro7. Though I have customized it a bit getting rid of #Windows. Instead I have it running #DebianLinux. I've had #Linux on it pretty much since I first bought it and it runs great. I have no desire to ever put #Windows back on it ever.

While chilling with a Latte Macchiato and waiting for Mini-Corben at the swimming training course, I thought I'd test the battery life of my #SurfacePro3 and #SurfacePro7 running #Ubuntu #Linux

Haven't booted into #Windows10 on my #surfacepro3 since about 2.5 years. As I upgraded to a #surfacepro7 I can let the old one now do the all the updates, as it even reached the end of its support for 1803. I'm "afraid" the new device has the same fate 🤷♂️ #sorrynotsorry
