GPD Pocket2 7" Laptop

Just received my new GPD Pocket2 Laptop.  Came with Windows 10 but there are videos online on how to install Linux on it, either Debian or Fedora.  Has good specs for such a small system.

If you install Linux on it, will the touchscreen still work?

They prop up their screen capabilities too:

Quote

GPD Pocket 2 has a 7-inch IPS 1920x1200 resolution screen, delivering more colors and higher contrast. With a 323 PPI screen, it provides a bright Retina display experience with better in screen details than the MacBook and new Surface Pro. The IPS-based screen has viewing angles up to 178° in either the horizontal or vertical. Use of In-Cell full lamination allows the Pocket 2 to have a screen that is thin, thus reducing the weight of the device. With a screen border of only 4mm, the Pocket 2 delivers an almost borderless viewing experience.

 

323 PPI, sure when you fit 1920x1200 into only 7" of screen space.

For the Retina experience, it's the same reason as above.

 

That's intellectually dishonest, because it's not a feature but a mere consequence of making the screen size smaller.
