You might want to be more specific than that... but im running Debian on a Microsoft Surface and It's great. You will need to follow a tutorial on how to install it though. It's a bit more technical than your average Linux installation

It's an HP, have to update this comment with the model later.

Well, if it's a "normal" touchscreen laptop, I think most Linux distros have support for it out of the box.

If you have a bit of patience. What you could do is simply install Linux on an external drive (usb stick works fine if its large enough) connected to your laptop.

That way you can freely try what works without messing anything up until you've decided.

Yes, I already use Ubuntu for my desktop and know about Distrosea. I'm asking which ones to look into.

How was it to get working with the keyboard?

I had a Surface quite a few years ago, and that was what stopped me installing Linux again on it.
