Well even if you can't figure it out, I'd be happy to do things manually
if you open an issue on github for me with some instructions. I know
from experience what a pain in the ass git can be for first-timers ;-)

I am considering putting Gentoo (or attempting to) and am wondering if
anyone has had success.
It looks like newer kernels have some builtin support for the hardware.
Due to its form factor I will be setting up distcc to help with the
build process, and using -bin packages for monstrosities like firefox
and libreoffice.
I'm sorry that I didn't see this sooner, but I've been running on my SP3
now for about 2years. I maintain a GitHub repo with kernel configs and
a installation manual, so if you'd like to give that a spin and submit
patches/ideas as they come, I'd be happy to merge them:

Thanks,
After messing around manually with the kernel I found your .config, that
could've saved me a lot of time.
I have a .config for 4.9.6-r1 I believe. I've noticed some patches have
been partially applied in 4.9.6-r1 and will modify the patches
accordingly. If I can figure out how to use git I can send the updates.
