When did that happen? I admittedly haven't looked in a while but I thought the SP2 had some basic issues with Linux (keyboard docking, wifi; the expected things).
- ekianjo 8y agoCheck r/surfacelinux there's always always recent info on how things run on each surface version.
- cik 8y agoIt's all about the latest kernel. I installed Bodhi (Ubuntu derivative, not a fan). Then I added Ubuntu repos and promptly picked everything else up to latest. Admittedly I have a script to allow screen rotation to be gangster, and to pop up a virtual keyboard when I rip off the Surface KB (and hide it when reattached). I consider that 100% working.
- driverdan 8y ago> I have a script to allow screen rotation to be gangster What does that mean? You need to use a script to get it to rotate?
- cik 8y agoCorrect. On login I run a python script that polls the accelerometer. For the virtual keyboard I equally poll the HIDS devices. Quick bit of python, life went on.
