I have a 7 with Cachy KDE on it. It's my usual go-to for "I need a screen".

Camping? Instant movie. Bored? Instant comics/manga. Surface tablets rock Linux.

    My battery is dying and I got quoted an insane price to fix it.

    linux-surface works well enough for me to turn comics pages and giggle like a kid using OpenComic, but I haven't extensively tested Krita, no, not much of an artist.

    Pretty neat rice! Glad to see another rnote user after long.I didn't know that gnome had support for widgets like the one you show in the first image. What's it you're using?

    How well do KDE and QT apps perform on a touchscreen? I am also a surface linux user and I've been meaning to switch to KDE from Gnome. It actually works great but I missed being able to use themes

    Do you think this setup would work as a tablet replacement in terms of weight, battery life (under Linux) and UI? It seems like it could and would help me escape Android, but I worry it'll have some obvious in hindsight issue.

    I’m on the bad end of the Dunning Kruger curve on Linuxy things (I am decent at making my Pis and simple servers and Deck behave, but I still daily drive Windows). This looks like a nice setup for something with a touch screen. What UI is this? Is this “stock” Ultramarine?

    It's ultramarine gnome with a handful of extensions. I mostly use it for touch interface. Ultramarine has a version built of the surface-kernel so it's easy peasy to get going.
