From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'd recommend using Fedora Workstation, it was a great experience back when I myself had an HP ENVY "fliptop". Anything with GNOME as its desktop environment should be perfect.
How was the screen rotation? I am mostly using mine flipped with a second monitor.
Also, what year was the HP ENVY?
Automatic screen rotation wasn't exactly smooth, but it did work, and I didn't experience any major issues because of it. I'd imagine it's better now.
Somewhere around 2018 I think, it was a while ago. But you can test in the live environment to see if the hardware support is still as good as it was.
I briefly tried Ubuntu on my Lenovo Yoga 6 a couple years ago, and the rotation was abysmal. I then tried Fedora KDE and it worked brilliantly with no tweaking. Just hopped to Debian w/KDE and having the same great experience.
