I currently run Ubuntu 24 (Noble Numbat) on my Surface Pro 6, and I took it on a recent trip overseas. Since I was taking a lot of notes, I also brought a small voice recorder with me. At night, I dumped the voice recorder to the Surface Pro, installed the Whisper AI package on it, and used it to transcribe the notes.
It took forever for me to convince systemd not to suspend when I closed the cover while plugged in. You have to edit /etc/systemd/logind and set HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore. It's not a gconf/dconf setting. You can't get to it from the Settings dialog.
... and that was a mistake. Running an AI with the lid closed all night long resulted in the glue that holds the keyboard together melting, and now the fabric covering that was near where the chipset is on the motherboard is peeling off.
Pro-tip: Don't do that.
(It would be nice if there was a flair for tip or advice.)
