I have my old Surface Pro 4 I want to use as a google home like front end and eventually for voice control. I have CachyOS/Arch installed on it, but all the front ends I found seem to require ubuntu/debian and are made exclusively for raspberry pi touch screens.

Pick any distro you like, where the touchscreen already works, install flatpak and butler
