Oof. Painful to hear your 5 is being so clunky. Hopefully Endeavour helps!

A powerhouse of a gaming PC ;-)

Keep it going full steam.

Profit.

Short version: American companies add wax to American chocolate.

Maybe try Endeavour? I haven’t used Cachy, but I’ve heard it’s a little more unstable. And I know I’ve gotten Endeavour to work.

Here’s a list of what I’ve got actively installed now, in case it helps:

SP4 - Endeavour, SP6 - Ubuntu vanilla, Mint Cinnamon

I don’t have access to a 5, otherwise I’d play around and try to help.

That’s… odd. I wonder if it’s a Garuda thing.

I’ve now installed four different flavors of Linux on a variety of Surface devices. Haven’t had that happen to me, but I also didn’t try Garuda.

Sorry to hear about that.

Ah yes, because nothing says “rescue mission” quite like space nipples.

Look at how many Americans would voluntarily die themselves just to prevent “unworthy” people from getting free health care.

These people exist.

Ehhh

I mean

WHICH good book? Lots of books are good.

From what I understand, the poor heat dispersal slowly fries the power management circuits.

If you don’t do anything to taxing with it, it may be fine for a while. Ever since I installed EndeavourOS on it, it’s been running cooler - much less system overhead than Windows. Still, I know one day it’s bound to fail. :(

Any one EXCEPT the Surface Pro 4.

The 4 is notorious for having lousy heat management and a faulty power circuit. The screen image shakes if it gets too hot.

My own SP4 worked fine for years, but as it aged it started to succumb. I can’t use it for any real work anymore.

Don’t get anything lower than the 5 (from 2017).

You can find a used Surface Pro with keyboard cover in your price range. It’s a little heavier than your typical Android tablet, but with the Linux-Surface kernel it seems to run pretty well.

Motherfucker. You just had to go and ask.
