Fucking, what?

Yeah, if your main form of offense/defense is that you are: large, and have massive fuck-off tusks on your front then charging seems to be a pretty good go to.

Pikes were used much the same way right? Surprised I never put the two together, ancient humans weren’t stupid so of course they’d realize that was a better way of causing harm than just throwing it. Not to mention their use of leverage in weapons like the Atlatl. No clue on the timespan of these things but I do find this stuff interesting.

The politics are shit but hot damn is it cheap.

If we are accepting non-dinosaur but ancient creatures, my favorite is the anomalocaris :) it’s just a goofy lil guy with a mouth snoot. Plus, they never say no to a snack. (They’re at the end.)

As for what features work, it depends on your model. Here is a breakdown showing all models and features. TL;DR the only thing that doesnt work for my model is the built in webcam as it is some proprietary chip or whatever. All other features work fine, typing cover pen and depending on the app the pen is recognized as having two different ends like for an eraser. I’m not much of an artist myself but I have messed around with Krita for doodling and Rnote for notes. I happen to be using Nobara as thats what ive got on my desktop and it has the linux surface changes built in. But you can poke around the surfacelinux subreddit (icky R site I know) to see what they use. OH, and last thing is that some linux distros just WOULD NOT install for me, i cant recall the details but it was a known issue at the bios level that kept me from installing Aurora. Keep that in mind if you go through with it and it refuses to boot and install lol. Feel free to ask more questions btw. :)

Running Linux on a surface pro 7+. Going fine. Google Linux-Surface. Note: some distros will have these changes builtin.

You won’t even have to ask if they use Linux, they’ll tell you.

Nobara btw.

We found our reset button y’all.

YAMS.

Not perfect, but if you just want the ding dang thing to start so you can see what a working setup looks like, then bam. Use yams.

My lemmy app decided to not show me this reply, but that is already something I was thinking about but hadn’t looked into where to start. It looks like that will actually be perfect to just install and go so thank you!

Nice, I actually used this to make a nice time of reading manga and comics on my surface with tachiyomi. Now I have to find a different workflow.
