It can do touchscreen pretty well, This will depend on your window manager.

And video editing will vary a fair amount. But i would suggest 16 GB. which would be an aftermarket update on that laptop.

I know 8GB is needed for Darktable but how about for video editing?

2017 Dell Latitude E7240 Flagship Business Laptop, 12.5” Full HD Touchscreen, Intel Core i7-4600U, 8GB DDR3L RAM, 512GB SSD, Webcam, Windows 10 Professional (Certified Refurbished) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076HF6BQ1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_E8DUAb6778S0R

This device will run Linux beautifully. And it's pretty easy to work on to bump ram.

ThinkPads run Linux great. You can find some on Craigslist for decent prices.

I have a run of the mill i5 based HP we purchased at Costgo for under $500.  Runs Archlinux just fine.  Completely took the Windows off it.
