Do you have the webcam and other peripherals working? I looked into putting linux onto a surface a while ago, and at the time I came to understand that Microsoft runs a lot of that stuff through a propriety chip that is not well documented and therefore poorly supported on linux.

If the developer wants to fight this and Rossman wants to back them, then more power to them both. Obviously Bambu shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this. But it does seem unfortunate that the best case scenario would be the developer winning the right to continue doing unpaid work to make their aggressor’s products better. Perhaps an alternative would be for a more FOSS friendly printer company to offer a free replacement for the developer’s Bambu machine so that they can instead contribute to a platform where their work will actually be valued.

Letterboxd isn’t a 1-to-1 replacement for imdb, but it does have user submitted reviews and ratings out of 5 stars. I would suggest giving it a shot if that’s primarily what you’re after.
