Custom Vib Image for the Microsoft surface lineup with NVIDIA GPUs

Custom Vib Image for the Microsoft surface lineup with NVIDIA GPUs

This is a Vib Image to get the required linux-surface patches working on Vanilla OS, it's based off of the nvidia-exp Vib Image from Vanilla OS. The default nvidia Vib Image does not want to build with the latest linux-surface kernel.

How can I get this?

Surprisingly simple, open the terminal and run abroot config-editor a file should open in nano (or any other text editor you have configured). In the file change the name parameter to sakloui/surface-nv, then save and close. Then run abroot upgrade and wait for it to finish and reboot. you can check if it's working by opening the terminal and running uname -a, if the surface kernel is shown then it should be working.

I don't want to get the nvidia drivers because I don't have a dGPU

I currently haven't made a Vib Image for this, but you can create a template from here follow their steps, and copy most of the config from this repo.
