If your installing linux on your surface pro 7 you'll also want to follow this repository basically enables a lot of features that won't work otherwise, like touch, pen and other stuff, how this would work with an immutable system I'm not sure, for me arch works perfectly on my surface.
I'm not familiar with Blend OS, but if your goal is being able to run Android apps you can also install Waydroid yourself in multiple distro's. I'm running Debian with Gnome on my Surface Go 2 using the Surface kernel and Waydroid with Gapps. It runs really well.
Thanks! I actually decided to give up on Blend and try Nobara, which integrates the required surface kernel changes out of the box. I chose the version with KDE Plasma 6 Wayland, and have had no bother getting Waydroid to run. I'm actually having a blast using a machine with full Android and full Linux functionailty
Great! Used Arch for a while, with KDE. I'm now using Debian with Gnome permanently.
