Hi, Many thanks!
The MS Surface (Pro) is a full-fledged computer with x86_64 architecture (and not ARM). My question is what sort of tools and software would make my experience on Fedora the best. I believe that touch is recognized (as it is on my Dell XPS 13) but I am asking if one of the many DEs are particularly suited to recognizing tablet mode input and opening up the on-screen keyboard (among other things).
