Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades

  Oh, I just have a surface pro 7. Since it’s microslop-build, getting the touch screen and pen to work properly might be impossible, since I couldn’t get it to be good enough even with the linux-surface-kernel, and have not really found any hope online. As my main use for the thing is art, rendering it useless just to get it on linux isn’t exactly something I want… :(

  I kinda gave up for now and switched to win10 since I don’t enjoy distro hopping. I might just have to wait until the linux-surface-kernel evolves to be more compatible or I find some solid confirmation someone has managed to make the thing work perfectly with a distro…

    surface pro 7 Oof, some of those surface devices have been especially painful to get working (or impossible in some rare cases). I did just see this which is an active project and may end up being helpful if you try again github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface

      Yeah… :( I got this before win11 was a thing, but had there been other viable options for what I needed, I wouldn’t have bought anything microsoft-made in the first place
