Oh my. I've got a MS #SurfacePro 3 running #Debian 12 which is almost randomly losing its #mwifiex #wifi interface after any resume.

I already switched the kernel to 6.10.10-surface-1

https://paste.debian.net/1335726/

I can't see any pattern on wifi breakdown. I don't know what to check/modify/do. 😔

I guess I need a break for now.

I hereby declare our household #Windows-free (again) after investing 1½ days setting up #Debian12 on a #SurfacePro3 of my wife. 🤓

#Linux #Debian is not there yet for being set up by a non-IT-professional person but the end result is somewhat OK for now (still a few annoying things to fix like loss of WiFi after hibernate/resume, black screen after lid opening, wrong external screen resolution, ...).

However, this might have saved us from buying a new notebook for university. 🤑

I switched over to using #Wayland and, while something things are smoother and HiDPI is handled better, there are still hitches and some graphical artifacts that pop up.

Nothing can resolve the issue with the meh typing and trackpad experience of the type cover; especially, when compared to any of my MacBook Pros. It's serviceable, but I would probably end up using an external keyboard and trackball if it were my daily driver.

Testing out the kitty terminal emulator as Konsole feels like a step backwards compared to iTerm2 on macOS.

I've installed VS Code, but haven't set up my development environment yet.

Good bye, Windows. Hello, Kubuntu 23.10!

Might actually have a use for my Surface Pro 3 now 😅

Silly me brought my heavy #NotebookComputer (too heavy for the lap so, no, it's not a #laptop) but left the power adapter. 🤦‍♀️

So I had no choice, and there realized that my 7-year old #SurfacePro3 is still good for work. 👍

And yet I'm thinking of getting another* computer 🤪 to keep in my old home so I can just pedal 🚴 back and forth and not need to keep bringing the heavy notebook 💻 and 🚗. 🤔

The Surface Pro and notebook 💻 go together because 1 is a backup. Must have a backup. ☝️

@Gynux @TMakarios
Yeah, I probably should. I really wanted it for my older/backup computer. #SurfacePro3 But that one kept saying it's not eligible. 🤷‍♀️

@sohkamyung
Does this mean Windows 11 might* run on an older, lower-spec'd computer too? Even if it's not in their list of compatible computers?

So my computers just got their #WindowsUpdate.

The big clunky #notebook restarted with its keyboard lights strobing. ⁉️ I had set it to just use a single color with no special effects. Now it's acting like it's brand new. 😐

The #SurfacePro3 is scarier. It restarted to this blue #BitLocker message. Fortunately I remember where I kept the bazillion-digit recovery key. 🙄

Hopefully those are the only weird things about the update. 🤞

Dear #Microsoft,
Please don't break my #Windows.

My mouse & pen connect fine most times.

My problem is my old #EnergySistem #bluetooth #keyboard that used to connect to my #SurfacePro3 no longer connects because #Windows10 keeps asking for a key that doesn't exist. I blame Windows. I think those #updates did something. Have tried googling for answers. Nada. And apparently Energy Sistem no longer makes keyboards. So no support there.

The keyboard still works with #Android and #iOS.

Definitely #Windows' fault.
