About to go on vacation and I updated our refurb Microsoft Surface with the latest Debian 13. WOW does this thing work well for a low powered device. Debian 12 seemed to have a lot of little issues with the Surface, such as not actually powering down properly, but Debian 13 seems to be functioning incredibly with the surface build.

So thank you to ANYONE that helped work on this #Debian build for the #Surface . It's so good and my kids are hopefully going to keep busy while we're traveling.

@ozoned I bought 2 surface pro specifically for tablet functionality with Linux. I go with Ubuntu and fedora, and can confirm they are great little devices. Hat off to the 31 contributors to this project https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface

@TCMuffin@toot.wales Thank you so much! My father is taking my family to Disney World. So it's going to be NUTS. And I'm going to hate the crowds, hate the travel, hate the wait times.

But I will NEVER forget watching my children have so many first experiences. I would never go there for myself. But I'm SO fucking excited to watch my children. 😊

And this, my friend, is the joy of having children ❤️

We've often "borrowed" friends' children to access animated children's films 🫢

@TCMuffin@toot.wales Honestly the feeling can't be described can it? You get to experience a first through their eyes. First to say a word, first to learn to read. I don't remember that feeling, but I get to feel it through my children. And it's just warmth in your heart. When you really stop and pay attention to them and really feel what they're feeling. It's fucking magical man.
