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.

That would be a sweet replacement for an iPad. Is there a distro that gives a more tablet experience?
Anything that offers gnome should be touch ready 😇 I’d go for openSuse TW with gnome
Nice, thank you!

Fedoras kernel doesnt run well on surface and to my knowledge phosh is not well maintained
Last phosh release was 3 days ago and it should work with any distro on wayland
It is a smaller project, but good to hear its actively developed!
Bummer. This seemed like a good solution
Try ublue silverblue surface images
Here are all the images
Thanks! I don't currently have a Surface. But this is opening up an interesting alternative to getting another iPad once my current one dies
I was not even able to test onscreen keyboards on KDE as there seems to be no way to force it. didnt try on GNOME. It may be able to work as an ipad replacement, but not always.
