I replaced the Wifi chip with an Intel one and have had no problems since. I did have other problems -- some serious. Right now, running Fedora 24 and Gnome 3, it seems to be a reasonably workable machine, but yeah, it's been more trouble than you'd like for the money. Part of it seems to be that Skylake is just wonky on its own. Some of my issues in Linux have been issues with the dual-booted Windows 10 install as well (e.g., sometimes rebooting instead of waking from sleep).
