I like Joplin, it could work for me but about 6 months ago I had to quit. My use case is against my s3 instance (not amazon) with 3 devices syncing. It became corrupt everytime.

Has this improved?

Until they make a proper upgrade to my surface 10, I will have no other choice but to stay on the windows 10 version.

clears throat

Surface Linux Kernel. Surface 10 supported.

Some distros of Linux that have SLK rolled in:

Nobara:

  • Based on fedora
  • Made by GloriousEggroll who also is responsible for protonGE a great derivative of the Steam Proton compatibility layer for playing windows games on Linux
  • Development and maintaining it is done by a single dude, so if something happens to him, that's the project done, this is not in the Pros section.

BlissOS:

  • for when you really just want your surface device to be running Android
  • immutable distro, makes it easier to undo fuck ups, and often prevents them happening at all
  • seems fairly mature and robust, I don't know for a fact as I haven't used it

Gentoo Surface:

  • for when you want to put a bit more effort in
  • the instructions here are from building Gentoo locally using and Arch LiveISO
  • FOR WHEN YOU WANT TO PUT MORE EFFORT IN

These were the really easy to find options. There's absolutely going to be more that have SLK rolled in...but that's not actually necessary, as the SLK git has easy to follow instructions on rolling it into whatever distro might interest you. The whole Linux universe is your oyster.

I have a Surface Pro 4, and I run Nobara, works great, better than windows. There are some hardware things that don't 100% work on some surface devices. Here is the Supported device list and Features Matrix. Looks like the SP10 doesn't like to hibernate, and doesn't have working cameras atm.
