You’re new on Linux? I also have a 2 in 1 laptop. To be honest, the only DE capable of touchscreen devices is (surprise) GNOME. It support gestures and have excelent support (Cinnamon is a fork of an old version of Gnome).
I recommend you to install Manjaro GNOME and customize it. It comes out of the box experience. When you install, remember to use Swap with hibernate.
