I'd love to hear what you come up with. I have a 11" Lenovo Miix 2,
which is great for Linux desktop (8G+256G), but in tablet mode it isn't
great. Chromium (web), Evince (pdf) have some support. As of Winter
2015, most window managers/desktop environments had poor/frustrating
touchscreen support, so I am just using xfce4 with the keyboard.

Windows 8 is much better. I actually tried using Windows 8/w Linux
virtual machine initially--at least you get a decent virtual keyboard
that way!

See if you can stomach the gnome stuff. I'm not sure how far KDE has
come. It was difficult to tell what was what as far as touchscreen
support a few months ago. I recommend you experiment in Arch, not
Debian, it is much more up-to-date.

Maybe use Chromium as the window manager and try to get some virtual
keyboard working. But this stuff is changing fast. I'd love to be wrong.
Report back!
