What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A patched Linux kernel build enabling Linux to run on Microsoft Surface devices. This original repository is no longer maintained and the project has moved to the community-run linux-surface organization.

Use cases

  • run linux on a microsoft surface laptop
  • install ubuntu on surface pro
  • get touchscreen and pen working on surface under linux
  • kernel patches for surface devices
  • dual boot linux on surface book

When to avoid

  • you want an actively maintained surface kernel - use linux-surface/linux-surface instead
  • you need support for recent surface hardware or recent kernel versions
  • you need security updates
