Hey everyone! I've switched several computers in my house to Linux, and now I'm looking to upgrade my latest device, which is a Lenovo Yoga Book X91L. This little potato PC has a touch keyboard, trackpad, and can even function as a drawing tablet. It currently runs Windows 10, but it can't be upgraded to Windows 11 due to CPU limitations, even though it has TPM 2.0. What Linux distribution would you recommend for this setup?

If you're planning to use the touchscreen a lot, I suggest checking out the Fedora KDE Plasma Mobile spin. It might be more touch-friendly. Otherwise, go for whatever distro you're most comfortable with!
Lubuntu is a great choice for laptops and lower-end PCs like yours! It should run pretty smoothly.
You might want to try doing a live boot of CachyOS first. It's a good way to see if everything works with your hardware. If it does, then you can go ahead and install it!
I think Debian is also a strong contender for newer users who want something stable.
