The flickering screen on my #Linux #Surface continues to get worse. I'll keep using it (with an external monitor) for as long as possible, but at some point (possibly very soon) this will no longer be a mobile computer.

I double checked my #backup sitation on this machine and it was less than 12 hours old. I even looked for a specific text file that I created last I used the computer and confirmed it is in the backup, so I'm confident that's going well.

I'll probably try to get by with only my phone and not-so-mobile computers when this thing finally kicks the bucket.

If that doesn't go well, I can take it to a local repair shop to get the backlight replaced, although I'm not sure if that will fix the issue since moving the mouse makes it flicker less or sometimes stop flickering entirely.
