You add the new kernel’s repository to your repo list. During updates, Pacman will pull what it needs from the various repos.

That’s the short-short version. Possibly not technically accurate, but that’s basically what it does.

After I ran the setup commands, edited the config file, then ran the command to install + update, it updated without me having to manually select any files.

Yeah, I’m sure Bluetooth is just from something I missed. Some config I need to update, or something.

Touchscreen and pen both work perfectly with the new kernel.

Quick follow-up, because tonight I installed EndeavourOS on my Surface Pro 4. (It’s not Garuda, but it’s still Arch.)

If you can follow instructions and copy/paste Pacman commands, you can install the Surface kernel. I did hit a couple of unexpected errors along the way, but the error messages were very specific. So it was easy to resolve them.

The instructions page is written very well, and there’s a whole section dedicated to Arch.

There are only two things I haven’t done yet: set up secure boot, and enable Bluetooth. Both of those things are pretty well documented, I just haven’t tried to do it yet.

Frankly, that leaves you with two options:

1. Be patient and learn, so eventually you have a working system.

2. Don’t have a working system.

The Surface Pro is a very proprietary device. It requires the extra work in order for Linux to function on it.

There are communities of people who will be happy to help you on your journey to learn, but unless you go through the effort you won’t solve your problem.

Therapy.

It’s not in the bios, it’s a system configuration.

Here you go, I found the links I started from. I’m on Bazzite, but Fedora and Debian seem to work similarly around this.

Edit to add: I just looked up Cachy, I see that it’s Arch. I’m not sure if Arch configures this in the same way, but hopefully this will at least lead you In the right direction.

I don’t remember all the steps, but it had nothing to do with the controller itself.

I had to edit system configuration - I entered the identifier of the motherboard USB device, and I told the system to allow it to wake the system from sleep. I’d have to search for the actual steps.

Really, it comes down to perspective. As someone in the U.S., the scope of what he’s saying isn’t as radical as it might seem - if you look at the surrounding context.

New York City as expensive. Laborers to work there can’t afford to live there. 25 Euros may sound like a lot - but it’s barely a livable wage inside the city.

And American rental housing is mostly owned by a small number of massive corporations. They use computer algorithms to determine how much they can charge to earn maximum profit. Rents have gone up exorbitantly, far more than inflation or even demand. So the rents need to be held in place and stabilized. It’s a completely unregulated market.

Similarly, food stores are consolidated under a small number of mega corporations. In a functioning system, stores byproducts based on market rates, then sell them based on what people are able to pay. However, in the U.S., grocery stores dictate how much they’re willing to pay for goods. Small businesses need to bribe the distributors in order to get proper placement within grocery stores. And grocery stores I’ve been raising prices when the cost of staples go up - but then never lowering them again. Poor people can qualify to get money for food, but they aren’t able to buy enough now. Operating a food store for public good is a middle step to ensure farmers get paid and people can buy quality food.

Public transit was free for a few years during the worst of covid, and people all over the country have been campaigning to try to keep it that way.

So, taking all of the surrounding details into context? He’s not nearly as far left of center as he seems. But without the context, I understand why it may look like he’s more of an extreme leftist.

I’m not comparing him to European governments.

I’m comparing him to European political standards.

In European terms, he’s just slightly left of center.

Weezer - Beverly Hills.

Weezer’s only good song is Buddy Holly. All their other songs are terrible. And Beverly Hills is the worst.

Have you seen Pachebel Rant?

Sigh.

Yeah, well, I could call my dick the Magnum Opus but that wouldn’t make it two feet long.

All those things about your mom are true.

Once you can define the word “prize,” we can discuss whether or not you receive one - or, in fact, if receiving one is even possible.

Congratulations, you have discovered philosophy.

Yes. There’s wrong words.

Button fly is?
