Wondering if anyones got a typecover patch for the surface pro 4, I am currently turned off the idea of Kali because I need to carry around a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Thanks in advance.

Cheerio. I got the Type Cover of my Surface Pro 4 to work yesterday.
I'm running kali live on USB stick with persistence.
In a nutshell:
- apt-get [upgrade|dist-upgrade].
The old kernel (4.9.18 or so) did not support the type cover. Because I'm running live with persistence i had to manually create vmlinuz and initrd.img, copy it to the persistence partition, and replace the startup kernel with that version. And Voila - TypeCover works.
I guess you can also just take one of the weekly builds (lik 2017.2 W29 or something). I didnt try this though.
