Hey everyone!
As described in the title, I have a Surface Go 1 happily running Fedora 39. The only downsides are that the cameras aren’t working and that my mouse (Modern Mobile from Microsoft) sometimes doesn’t connect or disconnects.
I don’t really care about the cameras, as I can use my phone for anything requiring it, but I get really irritated when my Surface Modern mouse doesn’t connect for a 30 seconds when I launch the OS and then connects after moving it a few times unsuccesfuly. Also, sometime without any reason or sometimes after 5 minutes of inactivity, it disconnects.
I’ve used the same mouse on my wife’s MacBook Pro running Fedora and I don’t remember having these problems.
I was looking at installing the Surface Kernel but I’m not so experienced I would be scared to damage my installation. I have a Clonezilla backup just in case but I’d want to avoid the useless hassle.
Has anyone experienced that issue and do you think the Surface Kernel could help?
Sorry to annoy you but it means it’s not gonna update when I update the distro via the graphical interface?
Not to my knowledge but every desktop environment has a different software diwnloader. For me it doesnt update through Discover on KDE.
Thanks a lot. I’ve now installed the surface kernel. Sadly it still takes a long time for my mouse to be recognized.
That’s not necessarly a problem if it got rid of the disconnection problem at least.
