  • I’ve been using fedora on a surface go 3 and it’s been a good experience - auto rotate works and osk mostly works. In general Gnome seems to be the best DE for touchscreens, especially if you use it in tablet mode a lot. You’re gonna at least want something up to date and probably using Wayland, so I wouldn’t go with mint.

    One option is to use something like Fedora or Arch for both PCs, but use a different desktop environment (gnome on the 2-in-1, kde on the desktop).








  • This is mostly down to desktop environment rather than distro, but I had the same experience as you with gnome on Ubuntu, and switching to fedora it was a lot better. Still some problems with the on-screen keyboard but it at least works. I guess having a more up-to-date version of gnome helps, or ubuntu’s additions to gnome mess with it.

    I haven’t tried KDE but I’ve heard it’s been getting better touch support, so it might be worth trying out too.
