    Help with Linux distro for touch screen system HP m7-j020dx system.

    My friend has a HP m7-j020dx system. He currently has Windows 8 installed on it. He wants to know if there is ANY DISTRO OF LINUX that works as a touch screen? He mentioned ubuntu. I haven't messed with Linux since Redhat, Mandrake days... so I'm not sure.




    So, if anyone can recommend a distro I can install on the HP system that has touch screen capabilities please let me know? Thanks, Mike.

    I did a google search before posting. I was wondering if any of the members had experience with this. Also, a lot of the replies read online, they made it sound like it was a nightmare to try to get it to work.

    I did find this.

    Refuse to use touchscreens myself because greasy fingerprints makes a sceen where I can not read it.

    Using AntiX on this laptop.
