Linux running on the Surface Book and Surface Pro 4. Following the instructions below to install the latest kernel and config files.

What's Working

  • Keyboard (and backlight)
  • Touchpad
  • 2D/3D Acceleration
  • Touchscreen
  • Pen
  • WiFi
  • Bluetooth
  • Speakers
  • Power Button
  • Volume Buttons
  • SD Card Reader
  • Cameras (partial support)
  • Suspend/Hibernate
  • Sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, ambient light sensor)
  • Battery Readings

What's NOT Working

  • Dedicated GPU (if you have a performance base on a Surface Book, otherwise onboard works fine)

Instructions

  1. Copy the files under root to where they belong:
  • $ sudo cp root/* /
  1. Install the custom kernel and headers:
