# 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.
