It's on Microsoft for releasing an ARM version of windows without a translation layer.

@TheRailroad99 6 ай бұрын

@@aprofondirthat was not really the issue. The issue was that it was locked to the windows store. You couldn't just install random binaries from the internet. That's why there is, to this day, no third party browser for WinRT. It would only run Windows 8 Apps (Metro Apps), not classic Win32 Apps. If they allowed Win32 Apps (which would have been possible, the Surface does offer the Win32 API - just not for Third party apps) it wouldnt have been the Desaster it was. They learned as with Windows10S you could upgrade for free to enable non-Windows Store Apps (and AFAIK the Win10 App store does allow classic Win32 Apps)

It's worth mentioning that the Surface RT is a 32-bit ARM device, ARM in general is an architecture that has not had much success on the desktop before Apple switched from Intel to their Apple Silicon, so modern Firefox in particular may have very little testing on this architecture, and/or the codecs may not be properly supported. If the Surface RT's RAM could be expanded, Android might have been an option at some point. Edit: I have seen that the Surface RT uses an NVIDIA GPU and specifically an NVIDIA Tegra, I'm not surprised that it has issues, NVIDIA has always been terrible on GNU/Linux.

For those who might think this is pointless, I actually have a great use for something like this. I have a very old windows tablet that I installed the raspiOS on.

Brings back memories... I did use desktop Linux natively on Tegra 3 powered device back in the day (Asus TF300T). It was my first ever experience with desktop Linux on ARM. Tegras were pretty much the only ARM chips which had proper vendor-supplied Xorg graphics drivers with 3D accelleration support. Though not fast by any means, TF300T ran Ubuntu quite well. I even managed to get some 3D games working at playable framerates (though it took some doing due to lack of desktop OpenGL). And even... some Windows RT programs via Wine. Still have a full backup of my last installation somewhere (IIRC, it was Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04 with Xorg libs pinned to older version to play well with Nvidia drivers). Sadly, it seems modern versions of Linux run poorly on the old Tegra 3. Your experience in this video is much, much worse than mine was back in the day. Your major issue is lack of working Xorg drivers, which, unfortunately, only exist for really old Linux versions and are likely darn near impossible to get working on anything modern.

That’s my Request! I did really like to run Linux on many Systems, Even on Low-End to High-End as a Daily Driver.

Oh man, using Linux on laptops and tuning performance to be perfect was my bread and butter for a while. Kinda sucks that I can't get proper clock speed control on either of my Zen 2 systems...

Hmm, even browsing the web seems to be a pain using this device. Maybe it could be used, for example, as the frontend for some home automation? So installing Linux, installing some home automation tools and use this as graphical frontend, physically connected using USB hub or something like that if it's cheap enough... smart enough to power a whole Linux system and having a working touch screen so you won't necessarily need a keyboard for it to work.
