Hello, everybody. I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 that I'd like to install some Linux distro on to use as an eBook reader. Does anybody have any experience or recommendations for a distro that's touchscreen-friendly? Thanks in advance!

Edit: I'm using Linux Mint on my main PC. I like it, but haven't tried it on the Surface yet.
