I would like to share with you a very cool project that develops drivers for correct operation of Microsoft Surface devices on Linux. I myself use Surface Pro 6 with these drivers and everything works like a charm (battery life is good, cameras work, stylus, keyboard, touchscreen, screen). The developers are gods. From myself, I would recommend using Fedora Linux distribution, as I got the best battery life on it and didn’t experience any additional bugs. If you don’t like GNOME, you can try spins.

You can make them work on Surface Go 1. Link to guide from developers. It is stated that you have to install v4l2loopback-dkms but on Fedora it is named v4l2loopback and it is in RPM Fusion. Also install kernel-surface-devel package.
Yeah thanks. Sadly, to be honest, I feel like it’s above my technical knowledge and I’m a bit scared of breaking my install by trying.
I can help ☺️
Thanks for the proposal but I’ll play it safe as I really don’t have time to tinker anything these days👍
Have a good time of day 🙂❤️
I can help you 🙂
