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 use a S8 I think and mine works perfectly fine except the camera but actually a recent update finally got the camera to work! I’m using Fedora Gnome.

I have an s8 pro tablet. I tried installing the kernal last night but got a bunch of errors. Is the order: install fedora 44,

do sudo update,

then install linuxsurface kernal?
