Snow for Surface Hardware
Snowfield is identical to Snow except it ships the linux-surface kernel instead of the Debian backports kernel. This provides driver support for Microsoft Surface touchscreens, cameras, pen input, and other Surface-specific hardware.
What's Different from Snow
| Snow | Snowfield | |
|---|---|---|
| Kernel | Debian backports | linux-surface |
| Target hardware | Generic x86_64 | Microsoft Surface |
| Desktop & packages | GNOME + full stack | Same as Snow |
Everything else — GNOME desktop, Podman, Flatpak, CUPS, PipeWire, firmware — is the same as Snow.
