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.

GNOME is built for touch. if I rotate my HP laptop 90 degrees sideways, GNOME automatically rotates the screen to suit. Its why latest gnome has so many multifinger touch gestures for interacting with screen

Gnome might be built for touch, but that doesn’t make it a great experience. Also KDE automatically rotates for me too.

I found the opposite, KDE felt Janky, GNOME is a cohesive experience built specific for touch gestures, tablet use etc

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.
