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 100%. I personally like gnome for mouse and keyboard use but it’s really a no brainer for touch screen use.
GTK4 currently has a bug where touch inputs will sometimes randomly stop working for an app.
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It also doesn’t have a settings application (unless you use the very WIP and pretty outdated hyprset), all the configuration is in a file.
Plasma on Wayland worked well for me, when i had a 2-in-1
No doubt Gnome.
Gnome has the best touch gesture support. It really is great. Sadly the osk for gnome kinda sucks major league ass. Pretty much every de has issues with touch. But gnome seems to have the least issues
