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.

I keep expecting something, the lifetime pass has more/less paid for itself.

That being said, they do still offer the lifetime pass, so clearly they see it as worth it.

Samba Bamba!!

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.

Plex and plexamp is the best music hosting setup I’ve found too. Users can have their own playlist and there is some smart playlist generation.

They also had (maybe still have) tidal integration.

However, you’ll still be relying on other services (probs spotify/etc.) to find new things.

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.

You can get your own modem (what plugs into the wall) or your own wifi router (you’d plug this into the isp modem). Your own modem is better, but ISPs can give you grief about “supporting” them.
