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?

    @HiddenLayer555 Android’s UI ? Depends on what you mean by "desktop environment, “mobile desktop” is kinda an oxymoron, do you want it to be mobile or desktop x3

    There’s hybrid stuff like GNOME or KDE, and Android has experimental desktop UI stuff.
