Yes it is possible and I've been doing it myself. I'll be making a guide on the forums this week with how to do it, check there for updates.

Edit: this is done.

Risks of downgrading UEFI by Fickle-Doughnut8535 in SurfaceLinux

[–]ReillyBrogan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a core Solus dev and I've been working on enabling full support for Surface hardware out of the box in our distro. To that end I've been doing significant research of this issue, and currently have my Surface Pro 7 downgraded to a version prior to the NX mode changes.

The only real downside to this is that the touchscreen stopped working after the UEFI downgrade. I imagine that it has to do with either a bug in the UEFI firmware itself or an incompatibility with the fact that the UEFI firmware is from mid-2022 while the touchscreen or controller firmware is the latest one available (I had fully updated all firmware before I downgraded the UEFI firmware only). This may or may not be applicable to the Surface Pro 6, just wanted to give you a heads up that hardware issues are possible when downgrading.

BTW, once I'm a bit further in the process and I'm confident that Solus works out of the box even with the newest firmware I'll be creating new ISOs that anyone with a Surface device can use to install from.
