How can i fix keyboard and trackpad on my Surface Laptop 3?

Question

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but i have some problems with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on my Surface Laptop 3. In the GRUB all works but ,when the OS starts, the keyboard, the trackpad and touchpad don't work and i have to use an external USB keyboard and USB mouse. Can someone help me? I'm a rookie on Linux and i don't know where to put my hands

I've been able to run it on a surface laptop 3 (intel). there's a few steps

Use a external mouse and keyboard to install ubuntu step to step here
You need to install a custom kernel (it's only a few copy/paste). It's on the same page and follow the Debian steps.
the last issue is to enable the reboot

Let me know if you get stuck somewhere
