on Surface Go 2 with 4GB Ram and 4425Y worth it? · c/linux · 2 pts · 2y be mindful that you need a Windows installation to boot from USB (!) I have the GO1 with 8GBs and while normal USB boot sticks don't work if I use something like ventoy it works without any issues.
on Can’t boot Clonezilla on Surface Go 1 · c/linux · 2 pts · 2yMy Surface GO also refuses to boot Linux usb sticks directly (interestingly windows usb sticks are no problem). What worked for me is creating a ventoy usb stick and then putting the iso on there. If this does not work you can try to set the boot order from fedora with efibootmgr.
