mangotek | Liberating My Microsoft Laptop with Linux Mint

I finally got around to giving my old Surface Laptop 2 a second life with Linux. I went with Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition, and I’m really glad I did.

    I run fedora 42 gnome on a surface pro 7+ that needed a new home. Great tablet. I do not like the touch screen keyboard resizing when I type to suggest words, but I haven’t found a way to address that.

    Other than that, it has been great.

    Cool! Next time, use Balena Etcher instead of Rufus

    Edit: I remember for sure that there was a wiki page that said not to use these tools because they modify the image (I think Rufus extracts the image to a FAT FS?).

    However, the Ubuntu wiki now reads:

    Rufus

    Rufus is the tool in Windows that is recommended officially by Ubuntu. A tutorial is available from here.
