Just installed Mint on my Surface Pro 4 that's been sitting in a drawer for years and guess what, it's now useable again! Praise be Linux.

Good to hear! My main computer is my desktop, running Mint. (I'm using it right now.) But I also have a Surface Pro 4 that I use for work. It has no problems and works fine on Windows... but I have been wondering if I can move that away from Windows as well. So its encouraging to hear that it has worked for you.

Does Mint have good support for the stylus and touch-screen on the Surface 4? (I imagine the Surface tech might be specialised to Windows a bit, so I wouldn't be confident those would work immediately in Linux.)

I don't know about this specifically, but in my experience with Mint, it's very plug and play with this kind of stuff. I'm always really impressed by just how little setup Mint needs.
