Would Mint be good? Somebody told me its the most like AndroidOS and works well with touch screen.
Well i was joking previously. But Mint should be great and before installing you can play around in live usb and check if everything works well
Thanks. I just gotta get my wife to hurry up and buy her own thing.
You can try making a virtual machine with a 20 GB virtual hard drive to try out different Linux distros in the meantime.
Thanks. I will look into learning how to do this.
To make things simpler in the long run, I recommend looking into using Ventoy on a thumb drive, if you'd like to just try out various versions of Linux without installing anything. There are handy guides on YouTube.
