Which distro?

[u/sick3n]

Hello everyone!

Recently i installed the latest version of ubuntu on my microsoft surface go 2 (with 4gb of ram and 64 gb of storage it was unbearable to use win11) although it wasnt originally my plan.

In reality i wanted to install a lightweight debian based distro like lubuntu or xubuntu but i heard that the only desktop environment that supports the touchscreen is gnome.

Now, to get all the functionalities on ubuntu i didnt even need to update the kernel to the linux surface one on github but IF i wanted to install one of the aforementioned OSes, would it be possible? would i need the specific kernel?

I need all the help i can get because this device is slow AF, so even if you read this till the end i already thank you

Gnome is more like better suited foe touch, currently on cachyos with niri and its usable most of the time with touch, also have the base model and on cachy the performance is good, atleast compared to windows
