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.

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.

For the most part it is about the DE and not the distro.

In my experience KDE is the best compromise between touch usable but not touch first.
