From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Finally have a fantastic setup for my surface to act as a tablet. the extension Touchup is doing some heavy lifting for usability. apps are: files, Riff, Librewolf, Voyager. Heres more screenshots.
Edit: i forgot to show some portrait screenshots! Ill grab some when i get a min!
i tried to post a video of my osk but it wouldnt work. here is the link to imgur.
gnome osk the osk was acting crazy while was recording. it doesnt act like that normally.
I know there is a surface specific kernel. I wonder if that would work for you.

I highly doubt it though.
Also if it's that similar to the surface, maybe something related to the Intel ISP module? Only thing I can think of. All my Intel stuff is ancient and/or properly supported.
Edit: best I can tell, if it's truly based on surface hardware, the camera issues are due to the intel image processing unit (IPU3). So whatever you're missing lies here. It's not a true camera issue. Basically your camera isn't really USB, It goes into the blackbox that is the intel processing thing. Since there's a skycam driver on the Lenovo driver page for your tablet, it's probably along those lines.
Most cameras on windows are just USB. My 7th/8th gen Intel laptop is USB.
This is just me googling.

This is the discussion for it on that same GitHub. Good luck with this.
Thank you!
