Follow the Gentoo handbook pretty closely with these exceptions:
#. Disable secure boot (at least until after the install is finished.)
# Post-Installation
#. Add this overlay (i.e. 'layman -a gentoo-linux-surface-overlay')
#. emerge at least gentoo-surface-sources, iptsd, libwacom-surface, and surface-control (libcamera if you want camera support.)
# Configuraton
#. For the kernel I have includeed a sample config in /usr/src/gentoo-surface-sources-<version>/EXAMPLE.config that you can cp to .config and use as-is if you like
#. If you want keyboard to work correctly during boot the easiest solution is to just include all kernel modules in the initrd image (for genkernel users add/edit /etc/genkernel.conf: ALLRAMDISKMODULES="yes")
#. If you have a surface book, enable the dtx daemons (system and user): 'systemctl enable --now surface-dtx-daemon.service' (as root) and 'systemctl enable --user --now surface-dtx-userd.service' (as your regular non-root user.)
