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 use Mint on a Surface tablet with detachable keyboard. When I detach the keyboard no virtual one appears automatically, which I prefer. If I need a keyboard there is a quick menubar icon that brings one up. I cant remember if it loaded itself there by default or if I went into settings to make the virtual keyboard icon always in the status bar, but that's how I manage it.
Oh, I didn't know that, thanks a lot
The keyboard icon always in the system tray may have been an accessibility setting. I honestly don't remember anymore.
Indeed, was there and after checking it, everything works as good as windows support, so perfect ! Just need to disable RST and install Mint now :)
