Any Linux support? I'll buy Microsoft hardware if I can keep my full development environment (Qt creator included)

  That was my first thought as well... I'm currently using a MBP for my work laptop and personal, but my next personal laptop will probably run linux... and I've considered switching my MBP over.

  Linux support will be limited. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 and Win10 on a Surface Book - no pen input, can't use dedicated GPU, wifi signal occasionally dies, can't wake up from sleep Other then that, Linux actually runs pretty well and is very usable.

  I only have the sp4, and apparently Linux support is getting there. On my first attempt (almost a year ago) there were a number of issues - but now a recent distro/kernel should work out of the box (on the sp4). But I haven't gotten around to trying yet, as with the Linux subsystem and hyper-v - I have enough Linux for my current needs. I do plan to try and move to Linux (again) now - for better window management and better package management (scoop.sh and chocolatey notwithstanding) - and because I strongly believe in FOSS.
