My riced surface pro 7

I've spent the last year learning Linux and coding, I had used windows for years and only used Ubuntu 12 for very short stints, and as for coding i was clueless, now ive a basic understanding but im getting there. Anyway thank you to all the maintainers, devs and community

Check out btop. It's another system monitor like htop but it has a bit more info and I've been pretty impressed with it.

Wvkbd, its serviceable in a pinch but will probably switch to gnomes vkb

Nice - having tried wvkbd I would agree. How did you plan to use gnome's vkb without gnome?

Arch Linux with the linux-surface fixes and kernel And yes it supports multi touch, styles and gyro also works only thing that doesn't is the camera

Very good rice!! Glad you are part of the linux community now. I went through the same thing like three years ago and it changed my life!!

Surface Pro 7 owner here as well. It's performance with Windows 10 and 11 was absolute garbage, but after I put Arch on it (along with the linux-surface packages) it absolutely flies. It's my night time binge watching tablet now haha.

Does wvkbd work with KDE? I've been trying to look for an alternative to Maalit that has system and arrow keys.
