Thank you so much for your time. The amount of effort in your response is amazing and rich with details!
Sounds like it's a bust to use terminal on a tablet. Damn.
I was looking at Lenovo and this is good input. It sounds like everyone is not a fan of the tablet keyboard and the terminal is straight bollocks no matter the distro. I keep hearing Fedora and Wayland. I'm going to have to learn about them a bit more.
I have been on Lemmy for awhile and this post has been the one to gain the most traction. Thank you, this helps even further. I scratched the surface of immutable and this further dissects it into deeper "categories". My first thought is that, if I didn't know about immutable distros in the first place (aside from the meaning of the term), I probably wouldn't know what I'm missing or gaining.
My uses for Linux will grow across 3 categories.
-
Business and office work. Mainly spreadsheets, documents, presentations, and virtual meetings
-
3D Design, 3D Printing, bitmap and vector graphics editing, coding, and retro video game development
-
Streaming via OBS, ATEM, webcam, HDMI capture, and various USB inputs and devices.
I have tried building machines on non-tablets and have got 80% of the way there with all 3. The tablet has me 100% with 1 & 2. This all gives me a greater understanding that helps me avoid and research more into the options based on needs.
Yeah, me too. It just works!
Xournal++ is amazing! It's really the reason a Linux tablet will work for me. I also appreciate using GB Studio and Aseprite with the pen. Makes retro game developing a lot more fun!
What changed to make it happen? I am so done with other OS and Linux does everything I need. I really need to learn more about what's happening and how to better use it so I can further customize and configure.
Ok this is getting to the question I had. I found a few YouTube videos that went into detail about updating the kernel. I was wondering what's the purpose when it was working as well as it has. I'm going to try to do this and follow the guides. Initially I had to overcome a BitLocker issue and a bug where I couldn't overwrite the partition. Once I finally got Ubuntu running I was ready to dive into making it touch compatible, but it was already there. I suspect this makes it even better
It sure did. That's why I was surprised. Thank you!
It worked immediately without much fuss. That's why I was scratching my head. Was it always this easy!? I'm enjoying the experience so far
On this Surface Pro, touch, rotation, and even the pen is working! I didn't expect it to just work and it is.
Dang it. Thanks for the update!
