Garuda on Surface Pro 5 - performance nightmare (feddit.org)

I installed Garuda Dr460nized on a Surface Pro 5. WiFi drivers were missing, but manual install from USB helped.

However, performance is a nightmare. Sound stutters, even Steam itself doesn't run well.

Any ideas? I know people run games like Left 4 Dead on Windows on these systems.

I'm absolutely new to Arch, and haven't touched Linux in years. However, I was able to confirm the iGPU is detected and a driver is installed.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot!

Any chance you could run basemark on the 4?

A powerhouse of a gaming PC ;-)

Thank you! Still way better than my SF5... 😅

I'll give Endeavour a try next week.

Oof. Painful to hear your 5 is being so clunky. Hopefully Endeavour helps!
