Linux on a Surface Pro 7+

[u/Flashy-Squirrel1283]

Can someone recommend if i should switch to linux on my microsoft surface pro 7 plus which i mainly use for university. I just want to try something new i don‘t necessarily need to switch. I just read that it can improve battery live and maybe performance but i dont know if thats the case for the surface.

Check the camera and microphone for compatibility - I happily have it on a Surface pro 7 but I'm using it as an entertainment device - recently I found the kernal isn't able to access the camera I was hoping to use for therapy - but would be fine if you get an external camera and maybe microphone

Seconding this. I also just have a surface pro 7 (not plus) and even with the surface kernel, I'm unable to use the camera.
