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'm quite glad my very old #SurfacePro3 is now running #Tiny11.
It had #Windows10 and was constantly downloading updates but after restarting it would undo the unsuccessful update. 🤷♀️ And it wouldn't upgrade to #Windows11 the usual way. I just stumbled upon #Tiny11 by accident. Had no idea it existed. 😅
Also, it wasn't shutting down anymore -- only sleep -- even when I forced* it with power+vol buttons. So the battery always got drained. Now with Tiny 11, shutdown is working again. Go figure. 🤷♀️
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. 🤑

Ich habe ein #microsoft #surfacepro3 bei dem die Tastatur nicht funktioniert.
(Unter win & *nix gleich)
- Diese Tastatur funktioniert an einem anderen #surface
- Die Tastatur eines anderen Surface funktioniert an dem defekten ebenfalls nicht
Ich habe Akku geleert: ausgehen lassen und dann den power-knopf ~24h gedrückt, bis nicht mal mehr der "Akku-alle-Warnbildschirm" kam.
Keine Besserung.
Gibt es noch sachdienliche Hinweise was man tun kann ohne das Gerät öffnen zu müssen?
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 😅
I'm really happy with how #windows11 runs on hardware as old as a #surfacepro3. I've got the i7/8gb version, and it's perfect. Looks awesome too. I've resisted posting about it until I had a few days to test it, but it runs great.
For anyone thinking about doing it but wondering... #windows11 runs perfectly fine on a #microsoft #surfacepro3 despite not being officially supported. I modified the registry (which is a change Microsoft gave a cautious 'okay' to), downloaded the Windows Media Creation Tool, and it installed without issue. Some details here: https://geekflare.com/install-windows-11-on-unsupported-pcs/
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?
#NotATechie #SurfacePro3 #i5
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.
@professor_stoke
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.
Yes!! 💃 I can now use my #SurfacePro3 as a 2nd screen to my #Asus #notebook! I'll be using this setup later at #work. So happy! 🙃 I feel like I just got a new toy! Except... Not. And it didn't cost anything. 😉
Yesterday I had both #computers turned on and was using them separately. Y'know, for things that the screen-capturing #tracker doesn't need to see. Had to have a mouse and a keyboard for each device. 🙄
I can now cross out #portable second #monitors from my #wishlist. 😜
Damaĝita ekrano devis esti anstataŭigita de tute alia ekrano. Mi elektis liberan mastruman sistemon por la renovigo. #SurfacePro3 #Linux #Manjaro #Esperanto
Seriously considering buying a new #laptop that's good for #videoediting with #DaVinci #Resolve. My #SurfacePro3 with its measly #i5 & #4gbRAM can't seem to handle larger clips & projects, even after closing miscellaneous stuff running in the background. 😕
Looking at #laptops with i7, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA, 250GB SSD + 1TB HDD... And I'm leaning towards those gaming laptops. If it's good enough for games, I guess it's good enough for video editing. 🤔 But they're sooooo expensive!! 😱 #computers
