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.

Ublue has variants with the surface kernel by default. Really, just use their hacky stuff instead of getting all the errors on your device.
I am sure their gaming focused bazzite variant has a surface version. Ublue fedora is way more secure than Nobara. Fedora doesnt support Apparmor by default, so SELinux will be more secure. There are tons of things wrong with nobara, and the performance increase is really not important (TheLinuxExp tested it and its like 5%)
Fair enough, I hadn't known about Ublue. Give it a go tonight. That said, running Nobara, I've not had any unexpected errors. And it's not like I actually do anything that puts any of my info to exposure on my SP4. No email, banking, messaging, don't even log into my Firefox account. I basically use it for retro gaming, reading manga, and not a whole lot else tbh.
Having a device just for fun stuff... is interesting. The threat is not big but it is always possible. And in my honest opinion, after having broken every other distro model, rpm-ostree is just awesome.
Sorry, it sounds like you're poopooing having something purely for fun? I spent less on it than I would a night out with the wife, and it's got hardware issues that make it not a great candidate for a daily driver. So it's a toy. shrugs
