Finally have a fantastic setup for my surface to act as a tablet. the extension Touchup is doing some heavy lifting for usability. apps are: files, Riff, Librewolf, Voyager. Heres more screenshots.
Edit: i forgot to show some portrait screenshots! Ill grab some when i get a min!








i tried to post a video of my osk but it wouldnt work. here is the link to imgur.
gnome osk the osk was acting crazy while was recording. it doesnt act like that normally.


Are you using linux-surface or have their patches been upstreamed to mainline now? I have a surface pro 6 I was running fedora on & haven’t touched in a few years. Curious as to the current status
The OS variant i use uses the Linux-surfacekernel. I dont think they are upstream yet.
so … which distro are you using? I’ve been using a Surface Pro 9 with Fedora 44 and the linux-surface kernel and supporting packages installed on top. I’ve been annoyed with sleep/wake overall (it often doesn’t wake and I have to hold the power button and force a reboot).
I hear that sleep/wake has been an issue for a lot of surface devices. Mine is fine at wake/sleep but think its draining the battery while suspended.
yeah, honestly it makes no sense for this to be an issue. Like I can kinda get it if I’m doing things like unplugging the dock quick connect cable and attaching the type cover keyboard and then trying to wake and it freaks out and needs a reboot. But to be totally unresponsive until a hard power reset even without doing those things is just crazy.
Mine is ,like i said, fine. Def had a hiccup or two while playing with this.
