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.

Like dindongitsabear said, the touchscreen capabilities are not perfect, but you can try out some distros, see what works and what you like. I have Fedora 38 xfce installed on a Lenovo Miix 310-10ICR (I don't have its keyboard), but it took some time getting the screen and on-screen keyboard to work adequately, and I still haven't set up automatic rotation and right click function. But hey, at least the sound works with media playback. Here's a video of some guy trying to get Linux and anroid OS running on his x86 tablet. Might want to have a look at: https://youtu.be/UaCwLjIf3sU Oh, and in my opinion, Void Linux is rather light-weight, you can get it as x86_64, and with that musl thingy, which, I heard is also faster performing or something. Another light-weight Gnome distro I can suggest is Zorin OS Lite.
