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.

Can confirm from personal experience, KDE Plasma is arguably the best choice.
I used it on a tiny Surface Go without issue, and I use it with a touch pen display.
You can easily rearrange the UI so things are positioned where your hands are.
Also, it's the only setup I found where I could rely on virtual keyboards alone, after installing OnBoard.
I also tried Gnome and PopOS, and Plasma came out on top.
