It had XP but this spring I went to Lubuntu. That distro did use LXDE originally but now it's LXQt. LXDE is still around but the original people moved to Qt when GTK development was lagging. The only problem I had was with the Broadcom wifi. I used a Panda USB dongle long enough to get the Broadcom drivers so now it's fine. When we first started looking at tablets at work we got a couple of Acer 10" since they were easy to set up for development. After playing with them I got the 7" version. If I was going to carry a 10" I might as well use the 11" netbook with a real keyboard. When 3G was phasing out I went from a flip to a smart phone. I don't make that many phone calls but I have a couple of apps for geocaching, fitbit, and slack. Also I need it for 2FA. The company VPN uses Windows Authenticator.
