Don’t thank me, thank Stallman. I stole it straight from straight him ;-)

That’s good to hear. I assume the normal- and IR-cameras aren’t working? The latter is nice to have, the former is a bit of must-have in today’s remote work environment.
Surface wasn’t meant to run linux. Its a struggle to get it working on them.

There is at least plugins that enables sync by alternative ways. They’re not as elegant, but work.
Since everything, including settings, is stored in the same root folder as the notes - you can sync your settings along your notes through other tools too.
One thing protonpass does better then the competition is exporting your passkeys that is generated within it. AFAIK, bitwarden supports creating and authenticating with passkeys, but you cannot export them.
I used Joplin extensively for ~2 years, but I was constantly put off by the desktop applications UI and how my notes was stored in SQLite. The move to obsidian felt natural and I felt more in ownership over my files in their existing structure. Granted, obsidian is closed source and could go rogue, but when that happens, I am prepared to jump ship without too much pain.
Its no big deal, I’m happy being able to try out various distros (including a rescue-distro) from one USB stick. I rarely need to boot windows from a stick.
Glad it worked out for you! 😊
It didn’t work with windows for me, so I’ve defenestrated it from my USB sticks.
Linux from scratch, does that count?
(It isn’t a distro, but more of a learning project that will expand your knowledge a lot, after you’ve emitted buckets of blood, sweat and tears)
I imagine it being about snaps. People seems to hate snap with a passion.
I still use Ubuntu in certain cases. Their LTS offerings are excellent.
I can vouch for nobara. WiFi and touchscreen worked flawlessly OOTB.
Correct
What’s wrong about it?
For those intrested, I created a !surfacelinux@lemmy.ml community here on Lemmy to collect information regarding linux on surface devices. Mods and contributors welcome!

I want to start with Btrfs and snapshots, is there a good, beginner friendly tutorial for those coming from a ext* filesystem?
Actually, windows puts 95% of it files in a single directory, and sometimes you get a surprise DLL in your \system[32] folder.
Does Nobara have surface kernel built in?!?? This is news to me, might reinstall due to this.
I’m running Ubuntu on an XPS and everything worked OOTB (except for IR-cameras) - even the nvidia drivers. Ubuntu has really good hardware support, but I wouldn’t count on Dell being reliable on linux compatibility.
Don’t see why you’re being downvoted, the person in question who discovered this is a postgres maintainer employed by Microsoft.
Do not get the L-models. They’re cheap, have crappy build quality and I daresay that thinkpad skimps on the non-obvious parts that will hinder performance - even though the machine looks powerful on paper.
Put your money into a better product instead.
