py2js33777yWhy did you accept the laptop? If they had so much budget they could've bought you ThinkPad or a MacBook
-
py2js33777yI think a small effort would change your laptop to a Linux based one. I think specs are quite okay considering it's a slim one

It would include compiling a custom kernel specific for surface laptops afaik, which is still not perfect as some stuff is not working fully. -
py2js33777y@OddieWanKenobi I don't think so. Surface supports Ubuntu at least. You won't require a custom kernel compilation for linux
New job, new laptop, which happens to be 2k euro MS surface crap.
It comes with win10 S which only allows store apps to be installed, so yeah no making bootable linux for me untill windows drag my ballsack through 2 hours of updating to a pro version.
Wanted to do a nice sweet new debian on it - nope, keyboard not supported in the installation.
I restart...and the fucker completely denied me untill it does another update, which is taking an hour..for now.
And wtf only one usb and mini dp port? In such an expensive laptop?
Cant even plugin my display untill my dock arrives.
Guess I'll have to suck it up and get used to windows for developing for now.
Thx microsoft
