I installed Garuda Dr460nized on a Surface Pro 5. WiFi drivers were missing, but manual install from USB helped.

However, performance is a nightmare. Sound stutters, even Steam itself doesn’t run well.

Any ideas? I know people run games like Left 4 Dead on Windows on these systems.

I’m absolutely new to Arch, and haven’t touched Linux in years. However, I was able to confirm the iGPU is detected and a driver is installed.

    Yeah, I’m sure Bluetooth is just from something I missed. Some config I need to update, or something.

    Touchscreen and pen both work perfectly with the new kernel.

      When installing a new kernel, you basically stop getting kernel updates from the main repository, right?

      I really have to look into all this a bit more I guess.

        You add the new kernel’s repository to your repo list. During updates, Pacman will pull what it needs from the various repos.

        That’s the short-short version. Possibly not technically accurate, but that’s basically what it does.

        After I ran the setup commands, edited the config file, then ran the command to install + update, it updated without me having to manually select any files.
