Basically Epic weren’t happy with the 30% cut that Apple and Google take from app sales and in-app purchases so they introduced a direct payment method which bypassed Apple and Google’s payment methods, but was in violation of their app store rules. In response both Apple and Google removed Fortnite from the app store. Fortnite remained playable on Android because of sideloading but was unplayable on iOS (I’m not even sure if it’s back yet) In response Epic sued both companies claiming they held an illegal monopoly. Somehow Apple won and Google lost

I also blame the Epic lawsuits. How the fuck did they lose to Apple but win against Google, the platform where Fortnite was still fully playable and monetised?

Thanks, I think I probably will end up on Artix eventually. I’m going to try Gentoo first just because it interests me though!

Yeah I think I will. This change alone isn’t actually that bad but it shows an eagerness to comply which I can’t accept. I’m not sure which distro to choose though, it’s probably between Gentoo, Artix and Void

Hopefully you can find something suitable, sounds like a Surface would be ideal if you can find one for a decent price!

No problem! What are you planning on using it for? I’ve had a look at the specs and it looks like the surface 3 is quite a lot weaker in single core performance, but multi-core seems about the same. It also only goes up to 4GB RAM, if you’re wanting to use Waydroid that probably won’t be enough as I struggle a little bit on 8GB (if I try to do split-screen in Waydroid it seems to run out of memory and one of the apps will crash). Despite that this one has enough power for what I use it for, although if I had paid for it I’d probably want a bit more power. It probably depends what price you can get one for. Battery is hard for me to comment on, as well as the lack of Windows 11 support the other reason it was on the scrap pile at work is because they were complaining they got less than 30 minutes battery life out of it. I suspect a lot of that was because they used it outside so it got too cold. I’ve been getting about 2-2.5 hours out of it since I got it home which isn’t that great for a tablet, but good enough for me especially since it was free! I don’t know to what extent the battery has degraded so it may be possible to get a unit that lasts much longer. I think the one I have was originally purchased in 2018 so it’s fairly good for a 7 year old battery! The battery life is probably the biggest risk of buying a used one. Having said that I’m not sure you’d ever get iPad levels of battery life from one, it’s more of a laptop that happens to be in a tablet form factor so even brand new its closer to a laptop in terms of battery life. Sleep seems to work ok, although for some reason it takes 2 or 3 button presses to wake up as the screen immediately turns off again after the first press.

Which model have you found? Mine is a first generation Surface Go so I didn’t think there was a previous model? I’ve honestly been quite impressed with it so far though, it seems to run Linux quite well! I didn’t even have to use the Surface kernel as everything worked fine with the standard kernel. The touchscreen worked fine straight away with no config needed. The gyroscope works as well for auto-rotate, although you may need to do a bit of config to get your DE to recognise it (there’s a GNOME extension to fix it). I even managed to get secure boot working with custom keys. I found it a bit tricky at first as it was difficult to find an on screen keyboard that had extra keys such as tab, eventually I switched from KDE to GNOME as their on screen keyboard was the best. You probably won’t have that problem if you’re getting the keyboard cover anyway, and tbh if you don’t need a good on screen keyboard KDE may be the better choice for a touch screen. I’m also quite impressed with Waydroid. There is a bit of a performance hit from it being virtualised rather than an actual Android tablet, but considering how weak the CPU is the performance is still pretty good. Its fairly noticeable if you compare the performance of a native web browser vs an Android browser running through Waydroid, but depending on what you’re doing it’s nice to be able to run Android apps since they’re more touch focused. It also doesn’t have perfect compatibility, I couldn’t get IronFox to work at all. The only bit that was a bit dodgy was the camera, you need to install libcamera for it to work and even then some programs don’t recognise that you have a camera, or if it does you just get a green screen. But I have no need for the camera so I don’t really care. Switching to the Surface kernel didn’t help either so I’ve stuck with the standard kernel.

Yeah Linux is great at resurrecting obsolete devices! This one was in the trash pile because it can’t run Windows 11. I can’t really comment on whether it’s a good idea to buy one though since I got this one free and I’ve not done much with it yet. It’s missing the keyboard cover and pen as well so I’m using it as more of an iPad/Android tablet alternative than a laptop.

Not sure if you’ve seen but there is a custom kernel for surfaces that you can install which should get most stuff working: github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface?tab=readme… They have a feature matrix so you can see which features should work depending on the model. However I haven’t tried installing it yet because the surface go is so old everything except the camera seems to work with the standard kernel.

Screen auto-rotate broken on Gnome | Solved

I salvaged a Microsoft Surface Go gen 1 from the scrap pile and installed Linux on it. Most stuff seems to work ok but I can’t get screen rotation working in Gnome. I know its not a sensor issue because it works under plasma-mobile, and if I run monitor-sensor I can see its detecting mottion even under Gnome. I tried installing the older version of iio-sensor-proxy-git suggested here but that made no difference: github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/…/689 I also tried the screen rotate extension, however the AUR version made no difference and when I tried downloading it from the web it just said it was incompatible. I don’t think it would solve the problem anyway because Gnome realises its in tablet mode and has the option for auto-rotate, it just doesn’t do anything. I’ve also tried the Fedora live iso and its the same there. Alternatively can anyone suggest a good on screen keyboard for KDE? I’ve tried maliit and plasma-keyboard but they’re missing keys like ctrl and tab etc which makes using the terminal horrible. Thats the main reason I’m even using Gnome because the on screen keyboard is great. Edit: Turns out I just had to go back to the extension web page and enable it.
