Aaaaand... the touchscreen works a treat! 
I think it installed GNOME desktop. It's a rather spartan GUI. You can change the location of the lock and resize the dock icons from miniscule to huge. RhythmBox (an iPod manager like iTunes) and Transmission (a torrent client) came pre-loaded.
As much as I like apt, I have to say Ubuntu has a slick-as-fuck GUI package manager. It's similar to the Android app store. On the Installed tab, you can remove packages you don't want. On the All tab, you can search for and install new packages. One of the defining features of a Linux distro is its package manager, and I'm loving this one. I highly recommend this OS for anyone who wants to resuscitate an old Windows 10 laptop.
