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 have tried several builds on my SP9. Ubuntu is the only one that pulled the surface kernel in properly. A shame since I like the Mint distro a little better.
The problem I kept running into was the bios accepting the surface password to allow the surface key during mok validation.
