Hi Oni,
Welcome to Microsoft Community.
I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing performance issues with your Surface Go 2. While it is possible to install Linux on your device, please note that doing so may void your warranty and Microsoft does not provide support for Linux installations. Additionally, Linux may not be fully optimized for your device's hardware, which could result in compatibility issues and further performance problems.
Before considering a Linux installation, I recommend trying some troubleshooting steps to improve the performance of your current Windows installation. What to do if Surface is running slower - Microsoft Support
If you still wish to proceed with a Linux installation, I recommend doing thorough research on the specific distribution and version of Linux that is compatible with your device's hardware. You may also need to install additional drivers and software to ensure full functionality.
Please note that Microsoft cannot provide support for Linux installations, and any issues that arise from the installation or use of Linux will need to be addressed by the Linux community.
Your Sincerely
Hahn.W - MSFT | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

All those steps did not do anything.
If windows can be sped up I won't switch but Im going to need some stronger steps lol
I know how much Microsoft doesn't want me to switch because how would microsoft try to force me into using edge if I don't use windows?
