That’s about once every 10 days. Are you okay, op?
Been using arch with DWM for a decade, why would I want to try anything else?

Started Gentoo Experimentation
April 27, 2024
I’m still using Debian (now Debian 12) with the exception of Gentoo on my desktop PC that I rarely use
Anyone got advice for a Linux distro that will run good with 2 in 1 laptop (the touchscreen tablet ones) I tried an os and the keyboard was meh. Or alternatively, how I can set up an is to work best on a laptop of that kind.
I run EndeavourOS on a Lenovo Yoga and it works great for the most part. Only thing really missing for me is programming thr buttons on the stylus, but it’s too minor of an inconvenience to deal with IMO. Keyboard, track pad, and touch screen all work as intended.
I literally was up until 5a this morning helping a friend try to search and distrohop because Mint, Ubuntu, and Fedora all had issues with returning to desktop mode after being put in tablet/slate mode. Keyboard and touchpad just never reenabled. It goes into tablet mode just fine, but refuses to come out. Tons of threads about disabling the keyboard and touchpad because they don’t disable for users, almost none for enabling when put back into laptop form.
It’s their first experience with Linux and I’m super frustrated.
I don’t know which distro is best, but you might want GNOME desktop for tablet. Its desktop control is ideally suited for touch and gesture methods on a tablet
Gnome devs are UX design geniuses. They made a desktop environment that is highly suitable for both touch and desktop usage (Windows wasn’t successful with that goal). It’s also beginner-friendly without being cartoonish like Windows XP.
I first realized this when I tilted my HP laptop sideways to read something on the back and the GNOME DE flipped 90 degrees to match the new up orientation. flip it other side it redid orientation, tilt thev whole laptop back resets to normal Horizontal layout. Amazing planning.
Ah those days when I was all fired up and re-installed Linux at the drop of a CD-R.
