Hi! I am new to using Linux Mint and would like some advice as to how to install all the drivers on Surface Go.

Which drivers are you looking for? There may not be any to install... generally, in Linux most drivers are built into the kernel.

Con un nombre de Abishek Roy, me sorprendería mucho si hablaba español.

You probably just need the intel graphics drivers. I know they exist based on:

Code: Select all

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005520/graphics-drivers.html

but check the software repositories. I'm sure they're in either the Mint or Ubuntu repos.

The Surface Go looks like a scaled down Surface Pro.

I am looking for mainly the wifi, sound and display drivers for now.

It's fine with me, help is help. I can use translator. I don't care about the language.

Can you provide some steps? I would really appreciate that. I am new to using Linux. How do I use the website to search for the drivers and install them on my linux mint for surface go? The website looks promising.

I dont' use Intel graphics on my system only nvidia, so this is just a guess, but this article might be helpful:

That's assuming you running linux mint 19.

So, i installed Linux Mint on Surface Go, it installed and booted up without any problem, the SOUND AND DISPLAY WORKS, but WIFI IS STILL NOT THERE.
(I am not shouting, I am using uppercase to put emphasis on the main things.)

[abhishekroy49]

I typed,
lspci -nnk | grep 0280

and i got the result as shown in the screenshot.

I just bought a Surface Go the other day myself. I bought it knowing I would install Mint. I booted up live, saw that the WiFi wasn’t recognized. Installed anyway, figured I would find a solution, which would probably require an install to implement.

Nope, no luck yet.

Did you ever find a solution?

Does any of the Linux environments work with WiFi on the Surface Go?
