That article says that they (claim) they have fixed it. And Microsoft released Surface Book 2 a couple of months after that article, as well.

Agreed. I'm itching to do that, and will likely end up with a chromebook.

I hope and suspect that the Linux Subsystem for Windows (debian based) will eventually eat all of Windows and provide complete linux support (battery, resume, etc).
