From what I understand, and this is just what I've read, the Pro 4 has keyboard and touchpad issues (Fedora 25). There are a bunch of kernel patches available but I'm not sure if they resolve the issues.

If anyone with actual experience could add to this, that would be great. It does look like a great combo.

With Ubuntu 16, this worked out of the box, no issues. The main problem I found was hidpi scaling, which is in no way unique to the surface.

The typecover 4 is natively supported since kernel 4.10.
