Nope, it does not. You can install a kernel made just for surface devices and you'll get mouse emulation via touch, but Mint doesn't have Wayland yet and it's my understanding that Wayland is where all the good things, like gestures, lives. So, I'm waiting for that but it honestly works fine without the touch. I'd use it if it was there, but it's fine honestly.

That said, I've been using Linux/osx as my primary at work for a lot of years now so I'm super unfamiliar with even basic sysadmin stuff on Windows, so I'm happy that the surface is now on Linux. Need to move my desktop to it one day, but I honestly almost never use it.

  • Can I use this as a brag too?

    Nobody I know would care, so I'll tell you. I made a stupid basic world gen from a tilemap and noise. You know, the basic stuff. Then made a little NPC that wanders around and will change it's walking behavior based on the type of tile it's on. Niiice.

    I'm a programmer, but never done this kind of stuff before so it feels like I'm starting from scratch. It's fun again.
