Run Linux dist from bootable USB on Surface Pro 2

bootbootable-mediamicrosoft-surface-prouefiusb

I'm having issues booting from USB on my Surface Pro 2 with win 8.1 and UEFI. Tried creating bootable USB using LinuxLive and a Linux dist. Also tried creating bootable USB with Easy2Boot, and adding Linux dist. I've tried Rufus too. They are partitioned as FAT32. It's like the USB is skipped. Nothing happends. I've tried disabling Secure Boot. There's no legacy option in UEFI setup. Tried different sub solutions to the two main ones I've mentioned. I'm only interested in running the Linux dist. Not install it. What could it be that is hindering me in booting from USB? I've tested the USB in another laptop, where it works fine.
