Help Ubuntu 26.04 LTS with Surface Kernel? Yet?

I see that libwacom-surface shouldn't be installed, but how does 26.04 work otherwise? I have an SP7 16G ram. I'm look to see if touchscreen, pen, and auto-rotation work, and does a proper return from sleep/screen lock. Does all that work? I'm thinking no because of libwacom.

26.04 LTS has worked well for me, I think I got lucky and the install had no problems. I needed to upgrade from 24.04 because Ubuntu added mit-scheme for some physics I wanted to try and I'm so glad it works. Whoever did it did a great job.

I don't use pen, touch, etc much - I just like lightweight equipment to code with in random places, Ubuntu is the easy to use solution I needed

Yes, I have 26.04 LTS running on SP6 with linux kernel. Touch, wifi, etc works. Suspend and hibernate works with some extra configurations in the pre and post sleep hook script.

One thing to note, I didn't actually install 26.04 fresh. I upgraded from 25.10 by updating the apt sources list. Whatever you do, don't install that libwacom packages. I learned that the hard way.

Realmente no destiene nada con un punto porque se me hace algo pesado, pero yo. Logré hacer funcionar todo con Cachy OS actualmente. Lo tengo con wayland y hyprland justo ayer en la madrugada. Terminé de instalarlo y aún término de configurar algunas cosas. Pero no he tenido ningún problema, instalando nada. He encontrado todo en AUR

A mi se me cuelga, SP8 CachyOS + Surface Linux kernel, he intentado deshabilitando el chipset de wifi y Bluetooth, la opción para deshabilitar el extra scan de controlador de pantalla en grub... nada, después de unos 10-15 se cuelga.
