# Fedora KIWI image descriptions, modified to build & launch for Surface Pro 12" Gen 1
+![Fedora Workstation 45 running with custom kernel on Surface Pro 12"](docs/Fedora45Progress.jpg)
+
+**UPD Sep 10 2026:** There has been huge progress made in this project since August! Thanks to kernel patches, pushed onto Linux 7.2 mainstream and [Gentoo overlay](https://github.com/miasvanklei/Gentoo-overlay), most of the previous features which this release lacked (stable suspend on GNOME, accelerometer sensor, dedicated video output, cameras) are now implemented. The project has diverged into [patched kernel](https://sayag.it/fedora-linux-surface-pro-12in/kernel-surface.git) + [libcamera](https://sayag.it/fedora-linux-surface-pro-12in/libcamera.git) builds with an [RPM repo](https://rpm.sayag.it/kernel-sp12in/) publicly available. You can see current state of things in a [feature matrix](#feature-matrix) down below.

If you want to compile this image manually, **the build arch must be `aarch64`**. It means that if you are on an `amd64` machine, you would have to use aarch64 instructions emulation tools like `binfmt`. Unfortunately, such a tool will drastically increase the compilation time.

+## Compromises
* Live CD has to run in RAM, so `rd.live.ram=1` is set for cmdline. Otherwise, at least on my ancient flash drive, it fails to load multiple necessary services, including `polkit`. So, ~5 minutes of loading on USB 2 drive, while screen is not backlit, is to be expected.
* No rescue vmlinuz.
@@ -38,21 +64,17 @@ To build this on Fedora Linux:
* No GRUB auto hidden menu. Trying to have the menu hidden results in system restarting after trying to boot it.
* Hardware video encoding/decoding needs a firmware blob the image is not allowed to ship. The `qcom/vpu/vpu30_p1_s7.mbn` that `linux-firmware` provides is the same codec signed with Qualcomm's SecTools *test* key chain, which a retail Surface's TrustZone rejects -- `qcom_scm_pas_init_image()` fails and the kernel logs `qcom-iris aa00000.video-codec: error -22 initializing firmware`. The production-signed build exists only inside Microsoft's Surface driver package, which grants no redistribution right, so what ships here is the means and not the blob:
* If you kept the Windows ARM64 partition, `surface-video-firmware.service` finds it on the first boot after install and copies `qcvss8380_pa.mbn` out of its DriverStore. Nothing to do.
- * If Windows is gone, download the [Surface Pro 12-inch driver pack](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=108199) (~500 MB MSI) and run `sudo surface-video-firmware.sh -m /path/to/SurfacePro_12in_*.msi`. There is no automatic download: the Download Center hands out per-session links.
+ * If Windows is gone, download the [Surface Pro 12-inch driver pack](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=108199) (~500 MB MSI) and run `sudo surface-video-firmware.sh -m /path/to/SurfacePro_12in_*.msi`.
The kernel's device tree already points `iris` at `/lib/firmware/qcom/x1p42100/Microsoft/Surface12/qcvss8380_pa.mbn`, so the driver picks it up as soon as it is there.
-* Suspend on Snapdragon X is still very unstable. No deep sleep is available, so `mem_sleep_default=s2idle` was set. Even that leads to compromises as suspending via GNOME results in hard freeze, so the default power button behavior was changed to `interactive` and should not be changed back to `suspend`.
+* Explicitly set `s2idle` suspend mode, as `deep` mode did not work properly as of August (when the iso was built without kernel patches). Currently untested if `deep` mode works now.
+* No 6 GHz network support (at least my device does not detect mine).
+* Adaptive brightness is disabled, as of now the light sensor outputs garbage.
## Image variants
Please look at [`VARIANTS`](VARIANTS.md) for details on the available configurations that can be built.
-## CI information
-
-This project is yet to adapt CI, but it is coming.
-
-For now the images are being built and tested manually on my personal Surface Pro 12" Gen 1 (16 GB RAM, 512 GB storage).
