Afaik windows on arm is still very limited, a lot programs still only support x86.
And touch ux on linux is not very convenient, I have a touch laptop and have used it with gnome for years, and it has a lot rough edges. Can a linux enthusiast use it? Sure. Would I recommend it to non computer savvy user? No, they won’t enjoy it.
I tried xfce about a year ago on an old intel atom x86 tablet, it was not usable at all. I read Gnome is the most advanced in touch support, I don’t know how touch friendly is kde nowadays.
So on windows a user would be limited to basic apps, android has much more options.
I thought Gnome was the way to go on touchscreens but someone was saying Plasma was the way to go now. I haven’t tried either in a while because both were pretty subpar.

New video was posted today about the current state of touch on kde and gnome: https://lemmy.wtf/post/16791767
It seems like kde is in a bit better shape nowadays, but both still far from the usability of Android.
@Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe: Take look, Unfortunately touch Linux is not in a state a big manufacturer like Lenovo could put it on a mainstream device.
