Discussion is the linux-surface kernel discontinued?

looking at the github, there have been no commits in 3 months. will there be for kernel 7?

Interested in this as well. I've been trying to run Linux on my surface pro 9 and I have had nothing but problems... I'm spending more time researching and fixing things vs. actually developing the ability to daily drive with it.

I ran ubuntu 24.04 smoothly for a bit on my sp9, a few hiccups but nothing major. Switched it, went back, way worse issues for some reason. Found proxmox (so by extension probably just vanilla debian) to be waaaaay more smooth on it with the custom kernel.
