From what I understand, the poor heat dispersal slowly fries the power management circuits.

If you don't do anything to taxing with it, it may be fine for a while. Ever since I installed EndeavourOS on it, it's been running cooler - much less system overhead than Windows. Still, I know one day it's bound to fail. :(

Any one EXCEPT the Surface Pro 4.

The 4 is notorious for having lousy heat management and a faulty power circuit. The screen image shakes if it gets too hot.

My own SP4 worked fine for years, but as it aged it started to succumb. I can't use it for any real work anymore.

Don't get anything lower than the 5 (from 2017).

You can find a used Surface Pro with keyboard cover in your price range. It's a little heavier than your typical Android tablet, but with the Linux-Surface kernel it seems to run pretty well.

You add the new kernel's repository to your repo list. During updates, Pacman will pull what it needs from the various repos.

That's the short-short version. Possibly not technically accurate, but that's basically what it does.

After I ran the setup commands, edited the config file, then ran the command to install + update, it updated without me having to manually select any files.

Yeah, I'm sure Bluetooth is just from something I missed. Some config I need to update, or something.

Touchscreen and pen both work perfectly with the new kernel.

Quick follow-up, because tonight I installed EndeavourOS on my Surface Pro 4. (It's not Garuda, but it's still Arch.)

If you can follow instructions and copy/paste Pacman commands, you can install the Surface kernel. I did hit a couple of unexpected errors along the way, but the error messages were very specific. So it was easy to resolve them.

The instructions page is written very well, and there's a whole section dedicated to Arch.

There are only two things I haven't done yet: set up secure boot, and enable Bluetooth. Both of those things are pretty well documented, I just haven't tried to do it yet.

Didn't you know? They're assembled in factories.

I didn't play Stardew Valley because YOU made me sign a blood oath that I wouldn't.

Frankly, that leaves you with two options:

Be patient and learn, so eventually you have a working system.
Don't have a working system.

The Surface Pro is a very proprietary device. It requires the extra work in order for Linux to function on it.

There are communities of people who will be happy to help you on your journey to learn, but unless you go through the effort you won't solve your problem.

On the one hand, that outfit doesn't seem very practical for most things.

On the other hand, if the world is destroyed and you're barely encountering other people... fuck it, I guess!

It's not in the bios, it's a system configuration.

Here you go, I found the links I started from. I'm on Bazzite, but Fedora and Debian seem to work similarly around this.

Edit to add: I just looked up Cachy, I see that it's Arch. I'm not sure if Arch configures this in the same way, but hopefully this will at least lead you In the right direction.

I don't remember all the steps, but it had nothing to do with the controller itself.

I had to edit system configuration - I entered the identifier of the motherboard USB device, and I told the system to allow it to wake the system from sleep. I'd have to search for the actual steps.

Really, it comes down to perspective. As someone in the U.S., the scope of what he's saying isn't as radical as it might seem - if you look at the surrounding context.

New York City as expensive. Laborers to work there can't afford to live there. 25 Euros may sound like a lot - but it's barely a livable wage inside the city.

And American rental housing is mostly owned by a small number of massive corporations. They use computer algorithms to determine how much they can charge to earn maximum profit. Rents have gone up exorbitantly, far more than inflation or even demand. So the rents need to be held in place and stabilized. It's a completely unregulated market.

Similarly, food stores are consolidated under a small number of mega corporations. In a functioning system, stores byproducts based on market rates, then sell them based on what people are able to pay. However, in the U.S., grocery stores dictate how much they're willing to pay for goods. Small businesses need to bribe the distributors in order to get proper placement within grocery stores. And grocery stores I've been raising prices when the cost of staples go up - but then never lowering them again. Poor people can qualify to get money for food, but they aren't able to buy enough now. Operating a food store for public good is a middle step to ensure farmers get paid and people can buy quality food.

Public transit was free for a few years during the worst of covid, and people all over the country have been campaigning to try to keep it that way.

So, taking all of the surrounding details into context? He's not nearly as far left of center as he seems. But without the context, I understand why it may look like he's more of an extreme leftist.

I'm not comparing him to European governments.

I'm comparing him to European political standards.

In European terms, he's just slightly left of center.

And yet it's killed more humans than all the animals in Africa combined.
