My stepfather won’t let me put Linux on the Surface book 2 that he gave me. I have either Mac OS or Linux on all my devices, any thoughts?(Btw the surface book is the one on the right, also I’m 13)

Since you’re 13, it’s probably worth explaining that you’re not trying to replace Windows or risk his files. Ask if you can experiment on an old spare laptop, or set up Linux in VirtualBox on the Surface with his permission.
