I recently loaded the latest Ubuntu LTS onto my old Surface Pro and I wish I had done it a long time ago. It works so much better than Windows. Zero issues with any hardware. I don’t have a digitizer pen though I remember reading you can load a special kernel if you have any issues with it. Give it a go, I think you’ll be happy you did

Just tried it with an Instagram story link and it didn’t work. I love this idea though. I’ll try again in a few months

I like my Shield but it was a real bummer that I couldn’t just plug in a USB drive and play movies on it. It’s annoying that I have to setup Plex or Jellyfin or whatever to serve movies to the Shield

THIS. I feel this. If I could super-upvote, I would. The same argument is deployed towards anyone voting 3rd party. The argument that ranked choice voting is the solution to a lot of problems, is valid. But we are never going to get that either so long as we keep diligently voting for the less evil between two parties. Seems like “never” is the answer to the question of when a lot of imperative, necessary, vital change is going to happen.

Given this dynamic, I can understand how anyone who has been paying attention, becomes disillusioned with our system and votes immorally just to encourage some change, even if it’s making things worse. I don’t condone it, but I see it happening and I can understand why

If the OP has a Timeshift backup, is it also possible to restore one of those backups to the new 1 TB drive?

Give me an open source solution that can import notebooks from OneNote and I’m sold!

Second this. I run it also on my old Surface and love it. Wish I had done it many years ago.

New users shouldn’t forget to install some battery management application. That also made a huge improvement in the experience.

I like it enough that soon I’d like to get a used Dell convertible and do the same thing with it
