I'm new in Linux. I have a Surface Pro 7. I have installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS but the integrated camera is not working. I've tried the following commands:

"cheese"

Even the latest kernel does not support Surface Pro 7 camera. https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=89ab28028e Also, the Linux Surface project does not support it yet https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supported-Devices-and-Features#feature-matrix

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
