I don’t have one anymore (it was an internal device that I gave back when I left Microsoft proper), but I had one last summer and while most of my testing on it was for Windows 11 builds, I did put Linux on it before and after release. And it worked well.
I don’t think official support will ever happen, but the Linux Surface project is very good and has lots of users internally at Microsoft who are very committed to helping report bugs/contribute back because they use it for work and for play. There’s a whole community of Linux enthusiasts at Microsoft and unsurprisingly, many use Surface devices, including the Surface Go line.
If I were to buy a Surface Go again — maybe the next model will be a little speedier (that was my main gripe with the 3), I think I would primarily use it as a Linux box, with Windows installed just in case , just as OP has.
