From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not familiar with any differences the surface go might have from other surfaces I have used but the surface kernel has always fixed every issue I have had with them. I currently use a surface laptop 4 and I can't even use Bluetooth without the surface kernel. As far as breaking the install goes, the instructions for installation and switching are truly as simple as copy and pasting 5 or 6 terminal commands. I really would recommend the surface kernel before any other fixes.
Okay thanks for the answer. I guess I’ll try it and come back here if it doesn’t work.
Just a question, is the surface kernel auto updating?
It should update whenever you run a dnf update in the terminal
Sorry to annoy you but it means it’s not gonna update when I update the distro via the graphical interface?
Not to my knowledge but every desktop environment has a different software diwnloader. For me it doesnt update through Discover on KDE.
Thanks a lot. I've now installed the surface kernel. Sadly it still takes a long time for my mouse to be recognized.
That's not necessarly a problem if it got rid of the disconnection problem at least.
