Hey there folx, I’m getting ready to go back to school and I was curious of any distro that have good pen support. The basic use see is likely just reading studies and being able to highlight in the PDF.
I’m looking at either a new framework12 or trying to find a surface to meet these needs. Likely won’t be until next year I’m in school so I have time to tinker and troubleshoot.
Okay, so I haven’t seen anyone else mention this, but using Linux on a Surface requires a custom kernel and knowledge about how to install Linux with a nonstandard kernel. see the
linux-surfaceproject on github for more info. I recently had the displeasure of installing raspian on a Surface RT. Which is another beast that I absolutely do not recommend to anyone.Otherwise, your best bet is a framework or a lenovo.
As for the DE, even though I love KDE and mainly use it these days, the extra padding on GNOME makes that DE probably more suited to touch. At least the interface looks very touch-centric
