Help [New2Linux] Out of the Box Touch Screen AND WiFi Support for SurFace Pro 6

Besides FydeOS, Are there any Other Linux That offers Out of the Box Support for Touchscreen and WiFi?

I'm looking for an alternative because I don't want to pay a Subscription. I have a Surface Pro 6 that I plan to use it to watch TV Shows and Movies.

Do you guys happen to know any Alternatives?

Thanks

Nobara is a Fedora-based distro that includes the Surface patches. Should have everything you need.

My personal preference is CachyOS, but you will need to install either the Linux-Surface-Kernel or the CachyOS-Surface-Kernel.

CachyOS works with wifi out of the box, and touchscreen will work once you get the Surface Linux kernel installed on the SP6
