[06:18] <tertl3> hi
[15:29] <nooodlesnodes_1> just have acer switch, surface knockoff, and want to know how to make it launch an onscreen keyboard when the physical keyboard is removed
[15:29] <nooodlesnodes_1> does ubuntu touch solve this?
[15:30] <parrotlover> No, it doesn't. There is no linux or android support for that device, only windows 8.1 and 10. I have owned them. Ubports is for Android devices with android driver blobs
[15:31] <nooodlesnodes_1> rough times
[15:31] <parrotlover> Yeah... but lucky for you... Windows works
[15:31] <nooodlesnodes_1> got jokes :-))
[15:32] <parrotlover> yeah... well when I had it, I was stuck using windows 8.1 or 10 unless I wanted only touch screen. the dock is the part there is no linux support for
[15:33] <nooodlesnodes_1> thought it would be good because it wasnt actually a surface, and because there is no internal fan
[15:33] <parrotlover> Ubports doesn't even have full stable hardware support for any of the supported devices, let alone a Windows 10 Tablet SoC based convertible
[15:33] <parrotlover> it's really stupid that they didn't build the doc to a standard people use and support
[15:33] <nooodlesnodes_1> the keyboard works just have to launch the onscreen manually and they look gross
[15:34] <parrotlover> the keyboard now works in Linux?
[15:34] <nooodlesnodes_1> yep
[15:34] <parrotlover> madness
[15:34] <parrotlover> It never used to
[15:35] <nooodlesnodes_1> the only things I cant do is this .. and pinch or finger scroll libreoffice calc which I believe is an issue libreoffice doesnt want to do
