TBF, if a potential partner is super excited about something you never heard of, looking into it is a good thing.
Conservatives, and other assholes, are good about hiding their crazy behind seemingly innocent things, like pepe the frog.

I use Debian everywhere but if I need a Live Linux environment to recover files, clone a drive, wipe a drive, or really anything else I use ventoy and a Linux mint iso.
I’m a cool grandpa with old hardware.
I use the terminal so much that I frequently accidentally use Ctrl-Shift-C and V outside of the terminal.
Ctrl-Shift-V usually works pretty well as it does a paste without formatting in a lot of places.
Accidentally hitting Ctrl-Shift-C though in a MS Team’s chat though, starts a voice call with all chat participants. 😑 hate it
Every distro.
Samba file shares should use regular user credentials and not have separate samba usernames and passwords.
Every distro with gnome.
Make RDP work as well as it does on Windows.
I’m talking about remoting into the Linux system.
Everytime the system is restarted you have to physically login to the system to unlock the keyring so that your RDP password is accessible or you won’t be able to get in. Or you have to remove your keyring password all together. Why is this different than the regular user password?
Also it’s weird that it works like VNC where you are controlling the system remotely but anyone local can see what you are doing on the screen. It is also cool to have that option but it shouldn’t be the default.

And the RTO demands are about intentionally lowering headcount without paying unemployment or severance so they can boost their numbers.
I’m a Linux admin at work and I use Linux for my main system.
I do need to administer some Windows only things too. I got them to give me an older desktop system running windows that I leave running in my cube.
Anytime I need to do Windows stuff I remote into that machine.
Ubuntu is great. I used it for years.
This is going to sound petty, but one thing that annoyed me for years was the ads for their enterprise crap that they put into the terminal whn running updates.
I tried Debian 12 when it came out and I love it. I switched all of my systems to Debian.
I would much rather use a community driven distro than a corporate one.
Also, I applied for a job with Ubuntu The recruiter sent me the most insane take home written interview packet. I took a look at it and decided I didnt want to work with a bunch of people who would fill that packet out.
I just bought one of these..
It sounds like you got it working-ish.
One thing you might be running into is having hiberboot (AKA fast startup)enabled in windows. Instead of shutting down it hibernates when you choose “shutdown”.
If it is in the hibernated state instead of actually shutdown. You won’t be able to choose a different boot option.
Here is some info on how to turn it off. https://www.elevenforum.com/t/turn-on-or-off-fast-startup-in-windows-11.1212/
I have some strange power issues with my laptop that may have a similar cause.
I put an additional drive in my work laptop so I could debian for work without nuking the system drive.
Shutting down usually always works properly but rebooting gets stuck sometimes. It’s like it gets to the bottom of the reboot cycle and loses the ability to say “okay boot back up now”. On my laptop, it’s obvious that it is still on because of the light on the power button. I hold it down for about 12 seconds until it goes off and then I can power it back on.
I wonder if your surface is doing a similar thing where it is still powered on but not booted. You might try hiding the power button down for about 15 seconds and then hitting it again when it’s in this state.

yes But not in any way that makes it useful. It starts when the user logs into the computer locally. If I was going to do that I wouldn’t need a remote session.
You can set the account to login automatically, but this doesn’t unlock the keychain which is needed to decrypt the user’s RDP password. So you can do it but you need to set your account to login automatically and set your keychain password to be blank.
I use the one built into Gnome but I have run into even more issues trying to install and use other ones.
Using RDP clients like Remmina is great. The problem is running a RDP server in linux.
In order to connect you must already be logged in to the remote computer locally and have unlocked your keychain. If the remote computer lost power and rebooted you will not be able to get in unless you have set the computer to login automatically and have set the keychain password to be blank, which is not great for security.
You can not use a different screen resolution in the client than you have setup in the server. This means that using “RD Client” on my Android phone to connect to my desktop computer with a resolution of 1920x1080 doesn’t work. I need to use an alternate RDP client on my phone where a I can specify a custom resolution of 1920x1080. And then the user interface is tiny and does not fill my screen.
I use Remmina and it is great as a RDP client. But that is not my issue.
The issue is the way RDP is implemented at the server level.
I can do anything I “need” to via ssh. But I would really like the convenience.
At work they monitor web traffic and block vpns, but they dont block ssh. So I use an ssh tunnel to rdp to my home system so I can easily look something up, navigate to the web interface of one of my self hosted apps, or get a torrent downloading at home.
If you are going to dual boot and your computer has room for 2 drives. The way I would recommend doing it is to add a second drive for Linux, and disconnect to windows drive from the computer. Do a normal linux install. And then add the windows drive back in. Then you can set one of the drives as the default boot device and if you want to boot to the other just open the Boot options on boot.
This keeps things totally separated and you can even remove one of the drives later if you want to single boot.
