Best Distro for 2 in 1 Laptops/Tablets?
I am planning on getting a 2 in 1 and put Linux on it, but I don't know what distro would be best for a 2 in 1 or tablet? Any ideas?

do you mean detachable screens? I'm afraid all of them comes with preinstalled windows 10 and a few drivers of those hardwares were not really available for linux. But time goes by and probably the situation is better now.

Strictly a tablet, don't think we are there yet.
Crunchtab failed to happen, Zatab from Zareason happened for a short bit, but no real OS chase. The Sailfish tablet, happened in a very limited way (and they are going to have to refund a bunch of them)
However, I have been reading a lot of mixed reviews on ones where the monitor becomes some form of tablet. I think we are still early yet, depending on the model.
