I am trying to set up like 50 Surface Pro 5s to give away so I wanted something that felt as close to Windows/Mac as possible while still allowing me to enable all the Surface Pro features.
Settled on ZorinOS as of now. (Actually, I did some experiments and even got the CAC reader working and CAC login working on it in the event that they want to use them in a student environment.)
Have you gotten the touch screen to work perfectly? I have tried all sorts of stuff, but I just cannot get it work well enough for drawing, even with the surface pro kernel.
Haven’t tried drawing on it ever… it does work well enough to use for tapping buttons and such, but if you installed the Surface Pro kernel you’ve done everything I’ve done.
Ah… Figured as much, thanks for the answer. I got the pressure to work, yeah, but it was greatly reduced, and too laggy to actually use with the pen. I am now stuck with Windows 10, as I cannot get enough functionality from Linux distros, and there is no way I will deal with the dumpster fire Windows 11 is. Unfortunately, there are no other proper, portable computer + display good enough to draw -combinations on the market than SPs, still. At least ones I could afford…
