Comment on Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates
phx@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m having issues finding an article on how once installed Linux on a Surface Duo, but there’s a got page on building the kernels so I’m guessing it’s doable.
Now that updates are done, maybe all the Linux users can find them for cheap and convert them

Sadly this is just the Intel/x86 Surface. The Duo is an ARM devices and doesn’t work the same way.
It’s like one needs some patches so some hw works properly. The other one needs rewrite most of stuff to barely function. That’s why so little Linux ARM device except ones made to run it in the first place. Generally ARM devices run Linux like able to run Android, but the other way around doesn’t always hold (more like 99.99% as seen in all Android phones)

damn I didn’t realize they were arm devices, I assumed all surfaces were x86. thanks for the info!
