This might be feasible (if the installed Linux comes with a GUI and not
just a terminal) but the interface may indeed be awkward to use, not so
much because of the screen size but because of the input device. A mouse
is easy to use, a touchpad as well once you get used to it, but a
touchscreen is more suspect if the GUI is not designed for it.
If available, a more reasonable similar solution would be to use Windows
WSLg (https://github.com/microsoft/wslg) on your laptop although this
his is not something you could install yourself (initial setup needs
administrator priviledges).
