Hello. I’m planning on getting a little Lenovo ideapad duet 3i for general media creation n consumption. Emphasis on being able to sketch.

I want to replace win 11 s (default os) on it with a Linux distro. I heard that gallium is nice n lightweight (designed to run on Chromebooks, …which is also related cus the other computer consideration is an ideapad duo Chromebook… and these computers are very comparable.) Are there any other lightweight distros I should consider? I’m also worried about being able to run windows programs like CSP (main drawing program). N games n other things. Also would this mess up the pen-touch drivers/systems?

(Note: I know little about computer systems. And this is my first time actually setting up Linux)

    Gallium is only for chromebooks. For this i would recommend lmde or mx linux.There is wine for running windows program.Just check the wine index for apps which you would run.

      I see. Edit: i was worried about wine not working for csp . which seems to be true(?). but it seems using playonlinux works.
