I have an old ass Toshiba touch screen all in one on its last legs.
If I port over to a Linux flavor would I be able to use the touch screen or will it FUBAR?
I also use it as a DAW with MPC and FLstudio.
Would I be able to continue to use it for these purposes or is it best to keep with windows?

Long story short keep windows
Word
When you want to run a windows program on linux your best friend is wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator) https://www.systranbox.com/how-to-install-microsoft-office-on-linux-using-wine/
Or dual boot
For music I use milkytracker personally... If you're a real musicians with needs of real musician chances are you won't like it, it's for nerdy shits, video game musics typically .mod/.xm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRDlix-KT1E

I mostly program on computer, I do graphics 2D/3D, sound editing, retro video game music, and video editing occasionally
I use a text editor like sublime or vidual studio code and html to make my resume... So that's not exactly what you would do I think

Test with a live usb first https://linuxmint.com/download.php
I use cinnamon personally, just because it looks better and my PC has no problem running it
How to make a live USB on windows https://youtu.be/RBC72byLDAA?t=20
You boot on that already and you test your touch screen, your sound and wifi (go on youtube typically) without installing anything. Then eventually if you actually successfully made the key, and booted on it, and tested all you need to check, then you can install linux side by side with windows, so you retain both aka "dual boot" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFJEBxg-o54 , or you just override the whole drive to install linux and get rid of windows. Both cases there's graphical interface to do that from the live USB, point and click even grandma can handle it
Personally I would install linux side by side with windows for a start, so I still retain a windows just in case, then later you can do it all over again just for fun and get rid of windows
What's your toshiba model btw?
PX30t
Searched for "unbuntu "toshiba PX30t"" didn't find anything right away... Or anything...
Try to boot on it, make a boot key and try to boot
It's the only way to be sure
