r/SurfaceLinux

A family member of mine has had a microsoft surface for some time now and ever since the start of the year has been bugging me about it being slow and I recently tested it out and it is unbearable slow. They are not good with tech at all and so I'm scared if I switch it to Linux I will be constantly trouble shooting simple problems for them.

How stable is linux on touchscreen?

If I do switch it to Linux which distro is good for normal people?

(ps. Sorry if the formatting is bad I've never posted to reddit)

I have an old surface pro 6 that I dont use, and I want to optimize to be a note taking tool for class (like an iPad). I want to use it primarily as a tablet.

What distro is best?
