SnotFlickerman , to linux in A Review of Linux on Surface Pro 4

The issues with the touchscreen seems to be a common issue with Linux tablets in general, in my personal experience, sadly.

wb14123 OP ,

Does this also include the tablets made for Linux like Pinetab?

SnotFlickerman ,

No, as I have not used any of those. This is my experience with cheap windows tablets turned into Linux tablets… much like taking a Surface 4 and putting Linux on it. Usually everything works great but the touchscreen is wonky, that’s all.

Deepin is spyware. Not to be trusted. Not a friend to FOSS.

I assume OP is Chinese. The localization and app support in Deepin is great for Chinese-made apps (QQ and WeChat for example).

I love how people say crap about Chinese software without even using it once… Windows IS a fucking spyware + bloatware n I bet you use it… Same way I bet you’ve played games that use Denuvo…

Nice article! Are you the author? If so, I’d like to give you a suggestion: the part about the deepin Linux story and technical background is interesting enough to be its own article. That way, it would be more findable on web searchers and probably help a lot of people who look for information on it, which is a bit scarce in english.

Just because we can, doesn’t mean that we should 😅

I tend to shy away from deepin…

wb14123 OP ,

I agree with that if using it as the main OS. However, as I mentioned in the article, I will only run it in the VM and will not trust it with any personal or important data.

You speak about collaboration and even gov forms as an intro 🫣🙃

Would never touch it personally, but I found your history of Windows piracy in China very interesting!

In the US the license was always bundled with the hardware unless you build your own. I worked for my university’s computer labs IT department and was able to acquire a key that I used for about a decade. Later, also scavenged a key from an old broken laptop, back when they printed it on the bottom, for my current Windows partition. Best to avoid paying for it…

I’ve been using mostly Windows for a desktop and Linux for servers for many years, but 11 is where I have to call it quits. My old friend Debian leads me forward from here :)
