Indeed, this table is pretty dope.

It was working just fine with external HID (keyboard/mouse) inputs

The touchscreen used a proprietary USB driver, for which there didn't
seem to be working linux support. There was a serial version that
could probably just be adapted.

I think these both are great ideas.
