Machine is a HP ENVY x360 Convertible 15-eu1xxx with the touch screen. Ryzen 7 5825U, touch screen 16gb RAM.

Top recommendation of within one hour of me posting this decides what distro I install. Please not Hannah Montana linux or even worse, Arch.

I leave the decision up to you.

Edit:

The winner was linux mint. I've downloaded the ISO and am installing now. I hope my boss doesn't get pissed.

For a better touchscreen experience, try the Gnome Desktop. Some people hate it because ...because people, but I love it on my exactly-same-but-not-same latitude 7389 (Arch BTW) and thinkpad 390 yoga (Debian).

I actually like the lack of endless customisation options ; I really just change the background, install the Cube and the Wobbly Windows and I'm back to work. Which I should be at right now, sigh.

I use touchscreen on kde plasma and it works fine. Firefox just needs some customizing

I've found it depends on version / distro. My Debian install of Firefox doesn't feature gestures, which is frustrating all the more because the Epiphany browser has them. On Asahi, where it feels super natural on apple hardware, it woks excellently.

Now these gestures... I found myself swiping 2 fingers to go back in my file browser a lot recently and I don't know if I come from the future or if I'm being a slightly uncoordinated smooth brain.

Its likely just a setting in about:config

Or install Firefox from the official deb repo, or from flathub

I'm an arch. Might try it out on debian if I get the chance

Am I the only one kinda upset that it's not referred to as 'CinnaMint'?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

The touch support on mint is good as well if I'm recalling correctly

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Congratulations!

I would have recommended mint too. Currently running it since I betrayed debian or it betrayed me.

Debian would be my next recommendation however pure debian is a bit tricky for beginners especially.

Great choice. Put it on my parent's old office PC after yet another malware incident. Never looked back. Machine instant feels fresh and snappy again. It still runs of an HDD and has only 4GB RAM since one of the 4GB died along the way. Still a perfect office machine.

How would your boss ever find out?
