If you install just some vanilla Linux distro, that won’t work.

My Surface 3 Pro with Debian Stable would disagree. The Gnome desktop does pretty good without a keyboard.

Same here. I've got Debian stable on a Dell Latitude 2-in1 (can't remember the model number) and it works great with Gnome and I can flip the keyboard backwards and use it like a tablet. Although it is bulkier because it has a keyboard attached.

Interesting. Might give that try some time. I'd love to have a tablet with Linux.

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.
