I have a a Pro 3. Best advice I saw and took was to buy a low profile USB dongle and sacrifice your only USB slot. Haven't looked back.

​

Here is the one I bought. A $20 solution to get your ~$100 solution working isn't too bad, I think.

Awesome thank you.

The screen matters for me a lot since I will be programming a lot on it and if I get the surface pro I will be using it with this: https://www.amazon.com/ThinkPad-Compact-Bluetooth-Keyboard-TrackPoint/dp/B00C32FWJC/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=ThinkPad+Compact+keyboard&qid=1554647646&s=electronics&sr=1-1

The sleep part is real bummer though and also I am not really interested in the touch screen though, just the portability.

Yup. That problem existed for me when my SP3 was using Windows and continues to this day with all and every linux distro. I believe it is a hardware/firmware problem. I think there is a firmware update you could try -- no idea if it works. I just finally bought a little wifi dongle for $10 and have enjoyed trouble free wifi since. :)

I have this USB-C => HDMI adapter that I use with another laptop. Just yesterday I plugged it into the SB2 in Linux and it worked immediately.

For connectivity, I've always just installed over WiFi. But I've got a Dell-branded USBC => Ethernet adapter somewhere at home I can try to find and see if it works.

Another approach for sake of documenting 2018 tips.

I use fedora on a SP3 with no windows. Wifi was spotty and despite all fixes still varied from kernel to kernel. I bought a wifi dongle for 8 bucks. the Edimax nano and since wifi is solid and was plug-and-play. current state post on this subreddit fixes any hibernation workaround stuff.

Everything works as it should with no windows installed. Auto rotate, touch, keyboard snap on and off, and dock all working as expected. Only issue is a small nano dongle in the usb slot. (I use the SP4 type cover and a Bluetooth mouse anyways)

Link to amazon for dongle. currently 7.89 USD

Yeah. ):

I got one of these https://www.amazon.ca/ARCTIC-USB-Powered-Portable-Cooling-Solution/dp/B003XN24GY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463147136&sr=8-1&keywords=arctic+usb+fan to help with the heating. I have one for my docking station and one I keep in my backpack for when I'm on the go.

Fucking bullshit though, I shouldn't need to use those just to have a usable device. But I push my device through photoshop and heavy image editing, so it's bound to get a little toasty.
