Left to do

Generic

• Minimized applications in the taskbar can't be raised via the taskbar. They can be raised via the Activities Overwiew.

Toshiba Encore 2 WT8-B

• Intel Atom CPU Z3735F @ 1.33GHz (Bay Trail)
• can cold-boot from USB: hold down the Vol+ button, then hold down the Power button, until the boot selection menu appears. Select the desired boot device and press the Windows key.

Tails 4.3

• Backlight tuning: GNOME Shell offers the UI, but it has no visible effect.
• Display rotation (probably because we don't install iio-sensor-proxy)
• MAC spoofing fails

Works fine

Toshiba Encore 2

Tails 4.3

• Boots fine without custom boot loader options.
• Sound
• Wi-Fi
• Battery level monitoring
• touchscreen
• USB

Misc reports

• We've been reported that except Wi-Fi, Tails 3.11 works fine on the Microsoft Surface Go 10 inch. According to this post a update of the firmware file (shipped by firmware-atheros) fixes that.
