So I finally put #Debian on a #tablet and I'm enjoying it. It's, uhm... a #Microsoft #Surface Go 2. https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10396-i-finally-found-a-solid-debian-tablet-the-surface-go-2
@jgoerzen Thanks for this; I should check it out again. IIRC there were a lot of firmware issues when I last looked a couple years back.
@downey The only real challenge was with #EFI, and I may have brought that on myself by trying to do the whole thing with Secure Boot enabled for Grub and Debian. I eventually got rEFInd working and went "it's working, so I'm not touching Secure Boot again!"
Really didn't have any other issues. I used the Debian "firmware inclusive" installer and then added the linux-surface kernel post-install but that was all pretty easy.
@jgoerzen Nice. It looks like the new-ish https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-uefi-firmware will take care of at least some of the problems I had. Guess I have a summer project now.
@downey Interesting! I didn't know about that. Thanks!
