I am not sure if this is question about OS compatibility with your HP or you are asking which OS you should try?

I also have touchscreen (not HP), and latest CentOS, Fedora, openSuSE and Ubuntu all works with touchscreen.

Did you see this post about HP Touchsmart 600? https://www.ebower.com/docs/ubuntu-t...t/#touchscreen
