From what I understand, the poor heat dispersal slowly fries the power management circuits.
If you don’t do anything to taxing with it, it may be fine for a while. Ever since I installed EndeavourOS on it, it’s been running cooler - much less system overhead than Windows. Still, I know one day it’s bound to fail. :(
Any one EXCEPT the Surface Pro 4.
The 4 is notorious for having lousy heat management and a faulty power circuit. The screen image shakes if it gets too hot.
My own SP4 worked fine for years, but as it aged it started to succumb. I can’t use it for any real work anymore.
Don’t get anything lower than the 5 (from 2017).

You can find a used Surface Pro with keyboard cover in your price range. It’s a little heavier than your typical Android tablet, but with the Linux-Surface kernel it seems to run pretty well.

Motherfucker. You just had to go and ask.
Your leather wallet desperately needs a cleaning and conditioning, I can see the small beginnings of leather suedeing/thread fraying.
actionjbone@sh.itjust.worksto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Garuda on Surface Pro 5 - performance nightmareEnglish2·3 days agoYou add the new kernel’s repository to your repo list. During updates, Pacman will pull what it needs from the various repos.
That’s the short-short version. Possibly not technically accurate, but that’s basically what it does.
After I ran the setup commands, edited the config file, then ran the command to install + update, it updated without me having to manually select any files.

Touchscreen and pen both work perfectly with the new kernel.
actionjbone@sh.itjust.worksto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Garuda on Surface Pro 5 - performance nightmareEnglish2·4 days agoQuick follow-up, because tonight I installed EndeavourOS on my Surface Pro 4. (It’s not Garuda, but it’s still Arch.)
If you can follow instructions and copy/paste Pacman commands, you can install the Surface kernel. I did hit a couple of unexpected errors along the way, but the error messages were very specific. So it was easy to resolve them.
The instructions page is written very well, and there’s a whole section dedicated to Arch.
There are only two things I haven’t done yet: set up secure boot, and enable Bluetooth. Both of those things are pretty well documented, I just haven’t tried to do it yet.

My eyes hazy with exhaustion, I was about to put it out of my mind until tomorrow.
But before sleep could take me, I sat up with a start: she’d died six months ago.
