Which Linux distribution works fine out of the box, both in tablet mode and desktop mode?

I bought my daughter an HP Pavilion x360 convertible laptop. Touchscreen display, leans back 360 degrees (tablet mode). Windows correctly works out this bun, performing auto-rotation, slipping the on-screen keyboard, turning, albeit into a huge, but full-fledged tablet, which in some cases is very convenient. In general, everything is fine, except for one. She doesn't really need windows.
Linux on the machine rises perfectly. There were no problems with the equipment. But with the tablet mode - an ambush.
There is one normally working distribution kit - this is Ubuntu with Gnome. If I can't find anything else, I'll stick with it. But the gnome... Maybe I just don't know how to cook it.
Preferences in descending order.
By WM/DE:
Openbox
XFCE
KDE
Batch:
deb-based
rpm-based
arch-based
What we want as a result:
A minimum of file work.
Correct switching to tablet mode.
Working out the rotation of the screen, along with the pointer.
On-screen keyboard with call only on text fields.
What I tried:
Mint (cinnamon, mate, xfce)
Kubuntu
Manjaro (kde, gnome)
MX (xfce, kde)
I wanted to try Astra - I read that they exist on the tablet, but they do not have Live mode, I did not waste time installing.
Maybe someone has experience, or who knows a desktop-tablet-oriented distribution?
=====upd=====
I answer myself. Maybe someone will be useful.
I tried the top twenty distributions according to the distribution watch. For use on a tablet, immediately, without a file, they are suitable:
Ubuntu
Fedora
Zorin
Everything is under the gnome.
Zorin seemed the most comfortable. On it and stopped.

mint mate
has been on it for 7 years already, I
tried both bubuntu and arch and q4os
in arch, in my opinion the best wiki,
but it can also be applied to other distributions
