# Linux Patches for Microsoft Surface Devices
Patches are grouped in directory by kernel version and inside those directories split up in patch-sets based on their functionality.
They should be used with the appropriate config fragments from the `/configs/<version>` directory.
These patches are generated from the `-surface` branches of our [kernel repository][1].
Please direct any pull-requests for new patches and kernel functionality to this repository, targetting the latest `-surface-devel` branch.
## Maintained Versions
The currently maintained versions are
- [`5.11`](https://github.com/linux-surface/kernel/tree/v5.11-surface) (latest)
- [`5.10`](https://github.com/linux-surface/kernel/tree/v5.10-surface) (latest LTS), and
- [`4.19`](https://github.com/linux-surface/kernel/tree/v4.19-surface) (Surface LTS)
Any other versions are only included for historical purposes.
Unmaintained versions will likely (if necessary with a bit of re-basing) still work, but will not have the latest changes (so please don't report bugs for those).
