I have a couple of Surface tablets that I’d like to put Linux on if possible. The one I want to try first is a 5th gen Surface Pro. If all goes well I would then try it on a Surface Go 2 and hopefully could keep the cellular access.
What resources are available for doing this? The little I’ve read so far makes me think that it is a buggy process and maybe not worth the effort involved.
Does the pen work probably in drawing or journal software (like Krita and Xournal++)?
Well, like I said, it works like a mouse. I haven’t tried it in these applications, but I would assume there wouldn’t be any pressure sensitive drawing.
It’s possible I need to install the proper module for it. I haven’t explored that yet because it’s not really what I need.
@chrisgestapo @cyborganism I have a Thinkpad Yoga where the touchscreen is a wacom tablet, and the included pen works with variable pressure for brush strokes like it should.
And indeed Gnome, with its big fat rounded buttons/toggles works very well.
