Linux 0.71.1
Would Mint be good? Somebody told me its the most like AndroidOS and works well with touch screen.
Mint is good but if you want the best touch screen support with gestures and an automatic on screen keyboard, you will want a distro that is using the gnome desktop environment (it is also android-like). Well known distros that come with this are Fedora Workstation, ZorinOS, and Ubuntu.
Interesting. I thought Mint was a version of Ubuntu.
It's based on it yes, but they use different desktop environments. The desktop mint uses is called Cinnamon.
its a fork of, downstream, tears out a bunch of the annoying shit and has different ux.
It's a (better IMO) derivative of Ubuntu, but it uses the Mint desktop environment by default while Ubuntu uses Gnome. To a casual user, most distros are pretty similar other than their defaults. Those defaults aren't even particularly hard to change. For example, switching mint to Gnome is one command and a couple GUI clicks: https://itsfoss.com/install-gnome-linux-mint/
