I have upgraded from win 10 to Ubuntu 16.04. I've tried following this article and this video , but still have run into problems as the latest kernel version is 4.6.3.

Its for the surface pro 3 however its targeting ubuntu 16.04, they suggest a specific PPA
Fedora Linux 24 was released yesterday.

This guide may also be useful, it covers installing Debian into the Surface Pro 4
These instructions cover how to install [Debian 'jessie' 8.x](https://www.debian.org/) onto a [Microsoft Surface Pro 4](https://www.microsoft.com/surface/devices/surface-pro-4).
The instructions assume you are not new to Debian, though you may have no experience of UEFI and SecureBoot (I did not until now!).
## What is Working
* dual booting
* SecureBoot
* typing cover keyboard
* multitouch touchpad (two finger scrolling, etc)
* special keys
* 2D and 3D (OpenGL) acceleration
* hardware video decoding
* power and volume buttons on the screen
* audio (including the microphone)
* sensors - `dev_rotation` though gives nothing but zeros
* wireless (is a 88W8897, a wireless/bluetooth combo module)
* bluetooth - this only appears once you use the wireless card firmware from [firmware-libertas (20151207-1~bpo8+1) [pcie8897_uapsta.bin version 15.68.4.p112]](https://packages.debian.org/jessie-backports/firmware-libertas)
* microSD reader - presented as a USB reader appearing when you insert a card
* suspend, hibernate and resume works
