I'm looking for recommendations on the best Linux distribution to install on my Dell Latitude 3490 laptop. It has an Intel i5-7200U processor, 8GB of RAM, and Intel HD Graphics 620, and I also want to make sure it supports touchscreen functionality. Any suggestions?

The best distro is really about your comfort level. For beginners, I'd recommend Arch since it's straightforward for package management and tends to just work after setup. But if you're looking for something really easy-going, consider trying out Linux Mint or Zorin.

Honestly, any Linux distro should run smoothly on your hardware. It really comes down to what you prefer to use. If you're looking for something user-friendly, I'd suggest checking out Linux Mint. It's easy to get started with and has a great community.

I've used a similar setup with a few distros, including Zorin, Arch, and Pop!_OS. They all ran pretty well, so you can't really go wrong! Just pick one that you think you'll enjoy using.
