I’ve done it on a Surface Go and while the install can be a bit more of a pain, once it’s done it’s a great little Linux unit.
Two PITA points are it doesn’t have a normal BIOS so sometimes it won’t boot from USB normally and you have to go into Windows and use it’s Advanced Startup process to make it work. That then means you might have to keep Windows on dual boot.
The other PITA this can cause is you might also need to install a boot manager like rEFInd to get it to boot into your distro properly. I found I needed this with Kubuntu but not Manjaro, for whatever reason.
Both issues are a pain, but not difficult, just annoying. And once it’s done you don’t have to think about it again.
