Depending on the model, Linux drivers do exist, even if they aren't all in mainline kernels yet. Just a week ago I booted [1] on my Surface Pro 3 from a pendisk (didn't even need to disable secure boot) and pretty much everything just worked, including the pen, touchscreen, type cover and sound. Note that Linux Mint is much closer to Ubuntu than Chakra, which is based on Arch Linux. The only thing that didn't work so well was sleep (only slept the first time); that's sometimes the case even with "normal" PCs, I'm sure that can be sorted out given enough effort. The situation is not so good with the Surface Pro 4... a matter of time, I guess. I've been reading even Microsoft is yet to get Windows working perfectly on it, so...
