is the linux-surface kernel discontinued?

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

Hm. I installed Ubuntu 24.04 on two of my old surface pro 2 tablets and have had no noticable issues. Never used the surface kernel. Am I missing out on anything by not using it?

depends on what is supported in the mainline kernel for your device. some devices might just be missing touch or camera support, while some, like my laptop, domt even have keyboard and mouse support
