I've still not gotten Linux to work well on my surface pro 4. There are some out of tree patches - but there's no fixing the poor wireless hw (well, you could use an USB dongle). In fairness wireless is flaky in win10 too on these.

But Linux does work - I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 with a custom kernel - display is pretty - pen is so-so under Linux.

I was hoping to use it w dark table and a couple of drawing programs under Linux - but so far I've never gotten it to the quite "just works" point (compared to say, a refurbished ThinkPad).
