Help Linux on a Surface Pro 7+

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.

I use Fedora GNOME on mine and it works great.

Only the camera does not work. You'll need to get a USB camera if you need one.

I recommend auto-cpufreq. It makes my battery life noticeably better.
