From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That looks like a normal kernel to me. The mention of the surface is the hostname which comes from
/etc/hostname.Exactly how does it not work? Does the kernel even try to boot? Tried verbose mode?
You might need to regenerate your initramfs for the new hardware, I think on Fedora that's Dracut? That usually does include machine specific drivers that needs to be available during early boot, but just regenerating it should fix that.
Well I’ve tried again with a new image from my Surface Go that I’ve just created with Clonezilla. All I’m getting is a black screen with — on the left side without anything happening.
The computer I’m trying to clone the image on is an old Acer Aspire 5737z.
Well to be honest I don’t remember exactly how it didn’t work on my other computer since it was months ago.
I just want to future proof the ability to clone my Surface Go install on any future computer just in case.
