Surface Laptop 3 running Kubuntu, such an improvement over what it was "designed" for.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there a tablet mode?
Yup. I think I needed to manually install the touch keyboard. But once installed, it works as expected. Touch the screen or remove the physical keyboard, and touch mode gets activated. Whenever touching a text field, the soft keyboard pops out. It's massive, though (well, about the same size as the one for Windows).
Which one did you choose? The ones I found feeled pretty clunky to use...
Seems the one I use is Maliit. It's on the chunky side, but for the few times I type without the real keyboard, it does the job just fine I guess.
