I had the same issue on my Surface, but Windows 10 basically fixed it. Of course, that was a year after I bought it. I've heard here and talked to a number of professionals that do not use Linux because they want something that "just works". But if I really sit down and catalog my issues, Linux can be a headache to set up, but once it's working I rarely have issues. Part of that is researching the right hardware, so I guess it's not the plug and play of proprietary platforms, but it works.

Wifi was definitely better under 10. The random keyboard disconnections on the other hand... those never got fixed. Maybe it was a hardware problem with the magnetic connector and pogo pins. The last piece of productivity software I wanted on Linux was just released recently (Substance Designer), so I'm seriously considering a dual boot. Have to keep Windows around because it's my gaming machine, but I'm a bit sick of having software updates shoved down my throat at inopportune times. What pisses me off the most about W10 is that it makes you pick "active hours" when it won't install updates, but it's a 12 hour maximum and it's the same every day. As if my home computer's usage pattern on Monday-Friday is going to be the same as the weekend.

I found that was the case pre-NetworkManager/PulseAudio/SystemD, but these days Linux won't stay working any better than Windows does. (My FreeBSD system is still rock solid though)
