I'd be interested in knowing also - using ubuntu on two non-touch laptops with minimal hassle, but considering upgrading my win10 machine to linux...

perhaps ask the system76 guys?

there are a few websites that list laptops compatible with linux and hackintosh out there too that might provide some guidance.

My kids school are getting Toshiba Portege Z20t so I checked them out
and they look interesting. Basically it is a laptop / tablet machine.

The important criteria for me include:

- Runs Linux WELL
- laptop / tablet / touch screen
- Long battery life
- Fast / Responsive
- As large a screen as possible

I have never used a touch screen version of Linux. Can anyone recommend
similar devices? Are their any pitfalls with touch screens (GNome vs
Unity)?

Thanks
