Microsoft Surface Ultra and the Linux Problem
At 1:06:41 · chapter starts 1:06:15
The Surface Ultra is Microsoft's flagship laptop companion for the RTX Spark ecosystem: 15-inch mini-LED display, the largest haptic trackpad in Surface history, a full port complement including HDMI and SD card, and a mysterious larger USB-C port that prompted a knowing smile and 'more to share later' from a Microsoft employee — speculation points to a magnetic breakaway charging solution. But the hosts flag a critical problem: there's no Linux support at launch, and the developer audience NVIDIA is targeting heavily skews Linux. Microsoft's response to Linus Torvalds reportedly amounted to 'we have bigger things to worry about right now,' which the hosts reluctantly accept as a reasonable launch-first position.
Microsoft's Project Solara is an agent-first OS meant to run on smart glasses, desk devices, smart badges, and more — all powered by Android under the hood. The hosts compare it to the failed Rabbit OS and question whether any of the concept hardware will ever actually ship.
