      I’m a Linux user but not everyone has that privilege.

      I just want everyone to have an OS that works for them, and I’m getting kinda tired of that being a hot take.

        I can understand that point. But putting more effort into making windows half normal and kinda usable seems like wasting time, Its an uphill battle that you are loosing anyway at some point.

          Sometimes linux is just not possible with the hardware :(

          I tried my best, but neither my SP7’s touch screen or pen functionality work properly with linux (even with the linux-surface-kernel). And there’s still no good alternatives for SPs in the market either, for tablet+computer+works properly for art (at least any I could ever afford)

            The Framework 12 actually seems really ideal for this, being that it has a 360 degree hinge and works properly with Linux.

            It’s also expensive as fuck, but then, you can repair and upgrade it, and I’ve heard Surface tablets are an absolutely miserable experience to try repairing. So up to you if the upfront cost is worth less pain down the road.

              Still not there for art, sadly. For example their pen has only half of the pressure sensitivity SPs better pens have :(

              I don’t think the pen input sensitivity/features on it is suitable for pro-level artists, but I might be wrong.

        I like you.

        I’m as much a nerd as the next, but I also play a lot of different games, with a lot of different people on different platforms, and that’s not feasible (yet) on anything other than windows.

        I hate it, but it is what it is.
