Linux on new Surface pro 4

I'm interested in buying the new surface pro 4. But 'm also a linux user therefore I would like to run linux (dual boot) on the sp4. There lots of tutorials about the surface pro 3 but until now I only found these links about the sp4:

and

https://askubuntu.com/questions/694137/ubuntu-for-surface-pro-4

The first one give's a tip about how to set the UEFI to boot linux but also that you have to look for drivers. And the second one ran a Live distro , but apparently no input devices work. ( maybe an USB hub would allow one to attach at least a keyboard and mouse, but his question still stands what to do next)

Does any one already tried running linux on sp 4 , if so can you tell me how you did it, what works and what not.

Or can you use the sp 3 tutorials and drivers also for the sp4?

Thanks.

Solution 1:

I just tried the sp4 with the linuxmint-17.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso image.

What did NOT work was all input attached Keypad and touch pad, screen input and Bluetooth.

But wlan DOES work, attached USB-keyboard/mouse work as expected and screen shine in full resolution out of the box.

Solution 2:

I can really recommend to activate hyper-V on your SP4 and run Linux in a VM without any impact (know to me). It's lightening fast and works very fine with even 4 GB machines.
