From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In trying to get Linux on my og Surface Go lately, it’s not easy or straightforward.
I have a surface Go Gen1 and linux worked flawlessly on it. The bootup was tricky af though.
There is a tiny linux surface community that I created here on Lemmy, ask your questions there and I'll be happy to help (while making the answers avaible to others In the same situation): https://lemmy.ml/c/surfacelinux
I’ll keep it in mind when I try again. Thanks mate.
I haven't checked back on it since I stopped using reddit (and I no longer use a surface pro) but there was a pretty active surface Linux community there as well with some good resources. For a lot of models you'll need a USB keyboard/mouse to actually install the distro but once you can load the custom surface linux kernel things worked pretty well for me.
The custom kernel situation looks kinda tricky indeed. What parts are not working without it?
I have one and it works almost flawlessly on Fedora without the surface kernel.
The only issue is that my bluetooth mouse takes time to be detected.
Also it’s tricky to make the Surface Go boot a Usb Drive if I remember correctly.
Got it. Thanks you! I might actually get one and try to go immutable on it...
