A loom that learned to weave itself.
Sometimes I use my X380 yoga as a tablet. It’s an actual mini laptop (13" screen) but it will turn sideways as a tablet, it’s touch-screen, and it has a pen built into the side. You can fold the keyboard around (thus the “yoga” element), which disables the keyboard and makes it an actual tablet. Really great. 10/10
There are newer yoga models but I can’t vouch for them because I only have this one.
This is amazing, because their AI is useless garbage.
Debian. You’ll have the same (amazing) package manager without the extra ubuntu stuff. Find a desktop manager that supports the stylus (I assume Gnome and KDE Plasma both will support it).
Just make sure to enable non-free packages.
Don’t they have a web app too?
Scary. But I would 100% watch the robot fight club.
Okay, but can we even see in 8k?
I think perhaps some of the world is starting to realize that.
Finally!

I’m very happy with my EndeavourOS installation. It’s arch-based, but with easier installation and some apps to help maintain the system. I’ve had it on my T16 for more than 2 years now.
Fedora is probably the most obvious choice though, since you’ve already used it.
Is this specifically for Americans? And who is organizing it?

Oh nice, fellow Canadians doing the good work.
I would greatly prefer public sector development. I’m just being fatalistic about how our oligarchy conducts itself.
I like democracy, but I don’t like our short-sighted (4-8 year) election-campaign-based governing. But between our public and private sectors I know we can meet this challenge and make this happen.
Man, I wish we (Canada) were that ambitious. I know lemmy hates Elon Musk but I really admire his ambition in technical pursuits. I’m not saying we need more Elon Musks, but we should pursue more grand projects.
I think most of us have a good idea of the benefits and drawbacks of Linux/Windows/Apple.
I have a Windows machine for media production, because Linux doesn’t support all the software I need for media production. I use Linux for absolutely everything else, because it’s better for literally everything else. In truth, a MacBook Pro would be better for media production but they’re too expensive.
I’m quoting OP’s summary (or quote). I’m implying that Microsoft is hostile to Linux installations generally.
“wasn’t supposed to”
I did actually read the article and I did not miss the point even a little bit.
Is the HDD removable? I’ve swapped hard drives between thinkpads before and linux didn’t seem to care that it’s suddenly on a different machine. So maybe you can install something on the HDD on a different machine (that has a usb) and then swap the HDD back into the Surface. Maybe there will still be things to smooth out later, but it’s something to try.
