I have an unused Windows tablet from 2021 running some Core M processor or other that I want to put Linux on and start using again. It doesn’t have a keyboard so I would have to actually use it as a tablet and not a laptop. Is there a distro built around one of the mobile desktop environments that also runs well on x86? (Last time I tried Linux mobile it was pretty much only for ARM and I never got it to work well on even an x86 virtual machine.) Or is regular GNOME deskrop still my best bet for a tablet?

    unity from ubuntu would have been perfect since that is exactly what it was designed for; but it’s not a thing anymore.

    if the tablet has low specs; i would go with a minimalist distro like damn small or puppy linux.
