If it has a touchscreen it's not really an ordinary laptop. Just sayin.

I have a non ordinary laptop, it's got touchscreen and flips around to tablet mode - I'm finding Ubuntu Studio, which runs KDE, works almost well enough, certainly no weird behavior like that anyways.

Windows had smarts about when I was typing, such the the touchpad ignored me, which Linux doesn't seem to do. It also can only set scale globally, which wreaks havoc with my 1440p monitor.
