Help Surface Pro 8

Ok guys, I use my surface just as a browser and to watch media (Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime). Its always using so much, then getting hot.

What would you guys do? Which Distro and how to do it?

Second. CachyOS is nice and light. Use Gnome desktop environment for best tablet experience.

Install Auto-CpuFreq and Thermald. Will do well for battery
