Out of curiosity, why does everyone always go for Ubuntu in posts like this? I've always hated that distro; all my machines run Fedora instead. IMO Fedora with KDE is way better than Ubuntu with Gnome in terms of usability for people switching over from Windows, but maybe I'm just biased since I'm already super familiar with Linux

I run Zorin OS 18 on my desktop. I just commented Ubuntu since more people would understand the comments.

Also, for Surface tablets, I believe Ubuntu is the best option for touchscreen support.
