Been wanting to put Linux on my Surface Pro 7, but when i tried it with Ubuntu, it didn’t work as well as I’d like. I used the Surface driver kernel, but Ubuntu wasn’t really good with touch. It couldn’t give a pop up keyboard (only showed up when logging into my account, but never beyond that). Sometimes it wouldn’t register touch at all. That and other little things that made it not ideal for touch screens. So i was wondering, are there any good distros that would work well in tablet only mode on my Surface Pro?

    I run PopOS on my IdeaPad Flex, which is one of those flip all the way around type laptop tablet hybrids, and it handles tablet stuff pretty well with the touchscreen, on screen keyboard, and stylus input.
