Hi!

I have an HP 360 which has a touch screen and I never found a DE that is great for both regular input and touch input.

Kde is great for regular stuff but meh with touch, gnome is the other way around.

I was thinking of trying out hyperland but didn’t look into it’s touch compitability.

Any suggestions?

I use arch btw.

Currently most likely GNOME, maybe KDE 6 in a month.

Gestures feel nice on Hyprland, but to my knowledge there’s only a workspace swipe gesture by default. Also note that it’s not a DE.

It’s a tiling window manager, like i3 or bspwm.

You have to pick out all the software (terminal, filemanager, text editor, whatever else a DE provides idk, but also things like a panel or launcher) yourself. Easy choices for that are KDE software (Konsole, Dolphin, Kate, etc), waybar, and rofi-wayland.

It also doesn’t have a settings application (unless you use the very WIP and pretty outdated hyprset), all the configuration is in a file.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
