Installing linux is actually very easy and painless depending on your distro choice. What do you need your computer to do? Your choice of distro would depend on the answer to that question so we cant advise any further.

Resolve works on on linix but make sure you check that your codecs are supported.

Thanks for your comment! I am going to try stable for a while and see how it goes… worst case I can switch to a different distro.

I have a Surface Laptop Go running debian. This model is a laptop not a tablet, but it works fine for me.

Good. That is the whole point.
