Third prong, looking constantly for new information. Yeah, most of these sites may be basically static, but it’s probably cheaper and easier to just constantly recrawl things.

Also, whether you see it as a plus or minus, windows wsl defaults to Ubuntu. So, msoft also seems to be somewhat invested in them long term.

Yall don’t have protected branches?

I commented further up, but will add here. I also have a Go 1 and Ubuntu worked okay. Webcam was definitely a no go, but it ran well enough for some productivity and light gaming.

Only thing I really hate is hibernate doesn’t really work on Linux. For a tablet, maybe you always keep yours on, but I liked hibernate to help keep the battery going longer.

Commenting to add here, this is not going to be about distro choice as much as seeing what configuration on the Linux-surface guide provides greatest support.

There are many things that may not work on your surface due to support, so definitely follow those guides.

Spent hours trying to get the Webcam to work on Surface Go 1.

With jupyter notebooks in a devops perspective you could just build a process to export the notebooks to standard py files and then run them.

There are actually a lot of git hooks that will actually expoet/convert .ipynb to .py files automatically since notebooks don’t work great with git.

Definitely sounds like it could be real. If I had to guess their mounting a drive (or another partition) and it’s defaulting to read only. When restarting it resets the original permissions as they only updated the file permissions, but not the mount configuration.

Also reads like some of my frustrations when first getting into Linux (and the issues I occasionally run into still).

Am I an idiot or isn’t the “pip vs conda vs poetry” line talking about package management?

This is what I was going to say.

• If they’re a dev WSL is a godsend for development.
• If they are looking to move away from windows, dual boot or live cd/thumb drive are good ways to test things out.

With things like wsl, conda has also become less useful. Anaconda is terrible software and the need for conda managed packages is mostly lost outside of the windows OS in my opinion.
