Pop OS on a Surface Pro 3
I'm tickled pink. I haven't played with Linux in probably 10 years. My elderly father upgraded from a Surface Pro 3 to a Chromebook, so I asked for his Surface Pro 3 to play around with.
I struggled with inputting my "real name" and "user name" as that part of the install process would not pop up the on-screen keyboard. I had an old 1byOne foldable keyboard that I haven't used in years, so I dug it up, plugged it in for power, and paired it with Pop OS and now I could finally type.
The install process finished without a hitch.
Setting up my Logitech M570 trackball just required installing the Solaar program, using that program to pair the trackball to a unifying receiver, and rebooting. Once rebooted, I was all set with trackball and keyboard.
Yay!
