Arch Linux PKGBUILDs for Surface Linux

Primarily tested on Arch Linux + Surface Laptop 13" (Intel).

Instructions

• Building the patched kernel (includes ACPI module)

  cd kernel
  PKGEXT=".pkg.tar" MAKEFLAGS="-j8" makepkg -s --skippgpcheck
  sudo pacman -U linux-surface-*.pkg.tar
  

  It's based on the Arch kernel tree (with patches curated by Arch developers) and Surface specific patches.

• Building the ACPI module as a DKMS package (won't work with secure boot): Please refer to https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-aggregator-module
