Anyone know how ?

before you do, try linux mint. It makes windows look pointless.

Mint doesn't work very well on my touch screen tablet.
I don't think the multi touch screen or digitiser work well under any
linux system.

i guess that's why android - the most popular os for mobile devices - is
linux, then?


Android is an OS that uses the linux kernel the same as mint is an OS
that uses the linux kernel.
Android is *not* linux in the sense most people refer to mint, ubuntu
etc.

define most people

Seen latest Ubuntu Unity yet?

The last one was cr@p, I am not sure I want to risk another one as they
don't provide a method to return to windows.


OSX is unix based these days...

OSX has always been "unix" based, well in as much as you can call BSD unix.
However linux is not Unix based, it is just a functional copy of Unix and
has not passed certification and probably never will.



ONLY windows STILL hasn't ported their bloatware to a stable underlying
operating system.

Well windows stays up for months at a time so it isn't unstable.
