Help on installing a lightweight Linux on Surface pro 5th gen

I need some help regarding the installation and setup of linux on a 5th gen surface.
It has only 4 gb of RAM and i want to browse on it and use an android app natively on it.

I installed Fedora LXQt (google recommendation) but was very disapointed with the userfriendliness. Stuck right at changing the keyboard to "de", which i selected during installation, but never turned out to be "de". Wanted to install the surface-kernel and also that did not work properly. Scaling of windows is complicated...

I read a bit here and i think i might try Fedora Workstation in the hope it is used more often and i get better support online. This should also support Wayland (?which is for android apps?)

Is this the right way? I red that Fedora 44 has no Surface-Kernel yet? how do i force the install of the 43er version? Can you support me with some command lines?
Which is the right url for the surface-kernel?

Sorry, i am a beginner and want to revive my old Surface. Please help me :)
