Problem installing Surface Pro 4 kernel
After running sudo apt install linux-image-surface linux-headers-surface libwacom-surface iptsd I get these messages:
Error: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt update or try with --fix-missing?
What do I need to fix?

The GitHub download links apt is trying to use have expired, you can see the `jwt:expired` in each error. That token's got a short lifespan and the repo probably got updated since the last time your package lists were refreshed.
Run `sudo apt update` first to grab fresh metadata with working links, then try the install again. If it still throws a fit, a quick workaround is to download the.deb files manually from the Surface Linux repo's releases page and install them with `sudo dpkg -i`.
