Ubuntu on Surface Pro 3 – not smooth yet but promising
================================================================================

Microsoft has made Surface Pro 3 tablet PC available for pre-order from May 21 and it didn’t take long for Linux enthusiasts to try Ubuntu 14.04 on it. And the results are quite promising! Surface pro 3 flaunts a decent [hardware spec][] and it will definitely be a delight for any Linux user to run Ubuntu on it when all the components are supported.
The first sensible step is to take a system image backup of the Surface pro 3. The image size will vary depending on what is installed on the device but the process is reasonably fast. A separate drive with Windows 8.1 is also required to restore the image because once Linux is installed, the repair and restore function will be lost.
To install, connect a bootable pen drive with Ubuntu, press the Volume Down and Power keys till the Surface logo shows up, then release both. Once the USB boots up, you can reach the familiar Ubuntu install screen (with live and install options). The Ubuntu installation procedure remains the same.
Post installation most of the components work out of the box. WiFi works but detects only 2.4GHz networks. The touchpad on the Type Cover works, but not the keyboard. The virtual keyboard in the accessibility setting can be used for typing but it is still lacking in features on Ubuntu. The best option is to connect a USB keyboard. The pen works as a pointer and pressing it down works as a left-click, but as Bluetooth is not working out of the box the buttons on the pen do not work. There might be some issues with the pressure-sensitivity of Ubuntu’s pen implementation. While it is fast and smooth, the experience without type cover is not optimal. Just like the keyboard, the dock might also not work out of the box. As touch and WiFi work out of the box, KDE‘s Plasma Active would be a better choice compared to Ubuntu on this device. However, the latest stable Kubuntu installation has issues on Surface Pro 3.
By the time the Surface Pro 3 is available at the outlets most of the issues might get fixed if the device grabs enough attention from developers. Here’s a short [video][2] of Ubuntu running on Surface Pro 3 recorded during the experiment.

在Surface Pro 3上运行Ubuntu – 尚不完美但很有戏
================================================================================
![](http://www.muktware.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/surface_pro_3.jpg)
微软从5月21日起接受Surface Pro 3平板PC的预订，没过多久Linux爱好者们就在其上尝试了Ubuntu 14.04。结果是十分有希望的！Surface pro 3标榜拥有还不错的[硬件规格][1]，当所有的硬件都被支持后，对任何Linux用户而言在上面运行Ubuntu无疑是一件令人感到愉快的事情。
最明智的第一步无疑是对Surface pro 3的系统镜像做个备份。根据上面安装系统版本的不同镜像大小也不一定相同，但可以相信的是这一过程会很快完成。恢复Windows 8.1的时候还另外需要一个驱动器来恢复镜像，因为一旦安装了Linux，原本的修复和还原功能将会消失。
要在Surface上安装Ubuntu，连接一个Ubuntu的可启动U盘，同时按住音量减和电源键直到Surface的标志出现，然后放开这两个键。一旦从USB启动之后，你就能看到熟悉的Ubuntu安装界面（有实时会话（live session）和安装选项）。后续Ubuntu安装步骤和一般安装相同。
安装完成后大部分组件都能达到开箱即用的状态。WiFi能够正常工作，但只能检测到2.4GHz的网络。Type Cover上的触控板工作正常，但键盘不能工作。在辅助设置中的虚拟键盘可以用来输入，但在Ubuntu中还是缺少一些功能特性。最佳的选择是连接一个USB键盘。随附的笔能够像鼠标指针一样工作，点击下去相当于鼠标左键单击，但蓝牙不能开箱即用，笔上的按钮也不起作用。在Ubuntu的笔的功能实现上，在压感上可能会有点小问题。尽管系统流畅反应迅速，没有了type cover的体验无论如何也算不上最佳。就像键盘一样，dock（译注：Surface的扩展底座）可能也做不到开箱即用。相比于Ubuntu，触控和WiFi同样可以开箱即用的KDE的Plasma Active（译注：KDE专为触控设备打造的用户界面）会是个更好的选择。但是，最新版的Kubuntu在Surface Pro 3上安装时还存在一些问题。
如果这部设备能够获得开发者足够的关注的话，到Surface Pro 3在各个销售点开售的时候，大部分问题应该能够得到解决。 这里是这次试验时录下的Ubuntu运行在Surface Pro 3上的简短[视频][2]。
