I installed Garuda Dr460nized on a Surface Pro 5. WiFi drivers were missing, but manual install from USB helped.

However, performance is a nightmare. Sound stutters, even Steam itself doesn’t run well.

Any ideas? I know people run games like Left 4 Dead on Windows on these systems.

I’m absolutely new to Arch, and haven’t touched Linux in years. However, I was able to confirm the iGPU is detected and a driver is installed.

    Thanks!

    Funnily enough, Bluetooth is already working. I’d say the only thing missing is touch screen and, well, proper GPU performance.

      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.

        When installing a new kernel, you basically stop getting kernel updates from the main repository, right?

        I really have to look into all this a bit more I guess.

          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.
