Hey everyone!
As described in the title, I have a Surface Go 1 happily running Fedora 39. The only downsides are that the cameras aren’t working and that my mouse (Modern Mobile from Microsoft) sometimes doesn’t connect or disconnects.
I don’t really care about the cameras, as I can use my phone for anything requiring it, but I get really irritated when my Surface Modern mouse doesn’t connect for a 30 seconds when I launch the OS and then connects after moving it a few times unsuccesfuly. Also, sometime without any reason or sometimes after 5 minutes of inactivity, it disconnects.
I’ve used the same mouse on my wife’s MacBook Pro running Fedora and I don’t remember having these problems.
I was looking at installing the Surface Kernel but I’m not so experienced I would be scared to damage my installation. I have a Clonezilla backup just in case but I’d want to avoid the useless hassle.
Has anyone experienced that issue and do you think the Surface Kernel could help?

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.
