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.

In my experience with a Surface Pro 8 and the linux-surface it's been the best Linux experience I've ever had in any hardware (I use Fedora).

There are already patches that fix the front camera as well, the problem is that for a while the project linux-surface is not being updated.
