I tried. Here is the thing, my Surface is i5 8G RAM / 256G, and I brought a 64G micro-SD card for extra space. So I try to install Ubuntu on my microSD card, that actually works but not good. I ask for help from my friend to use his flash drive to install Ubuntu on my sd card, but it's not easy to let UEFI recognize it. Somehow I cannot enter GRUB even though I set it to the first place in boot order list, so we use rEFInd to enter GRUB so that I can enter Ubuntu. Luckily I can use Ubuntu now! However it is not over yet. We found that the keyboard cannot work at all, that means I cannot type my password and press enter. 😒 To solve this, we found a kernel, I think it's this . But problems just keep coming out, like screen brightness, this one is easy just add one line to set it to certain value you like in /etc/re.local. Another problem is touch screen is useless, the one cannot fix yet. What's more, the secure boot is disable so every time I start my surface there...

Recently I have many papers to read, you know, because of new semester. T T However not every paper need to be printed out, and some compulsory books have too many pages to print, so I need a tool to sync my comments and notes. Hopefully I can read them on my laptop, tablet or even phone while on a bus (okay just kidding). Everyone knows Dropbox, but when you wanna read files on iPhone, Dropbox keep them on your phone. My phone don't have so many space, and they haven't fix this problem yet. Luckily now Adobe Acrobat can open files from Dropbox account, so I just install Adobe, make notes, then it automatically sync my notes to cloud. Now I can make notes whenever I want, the functions are almost the same on ios and pc. Of course I hope there's not so many compulsory readings : )

It shows that "we didn't find anything to show here" even after I click sync button. I google and try many solution about this, but none of them works. But luckily when I try to uninstall Mail and Calendar, actually it cannot be uninstalled, I found the 'reset' button in 'Advanced options'. Obviously it said if not working just reset it. Then everything solved! It is good because your account will not be removed after this, just try it when sync is not working.
