What are your latest DE experiences with Touch- and/or 2in1-devices? I heard some prefer Gnome for their gesture support and modern layout. Others prefer the highly customizable KDE Plasma. Sometimes with custom installed virtual keyboard. However most discussions where kinda dated. Referring to Plasma 5 or older etc.
So I am asking the Fediversians for their experiences and setups! 🐧
I hear that Gnome can struggle on touchscreens due to some GTK bugginess.
Plasma is probably a good bet since it has a dedicated touch friendly mode and is tested on the Steam Deck, which has a touch screen.
Will add that most buttons are far too small to touch reliably on my Steam Deck, so I use the track pad in KDE
this is a massive issue even on my tablet too, but many toolkits have this issue
Xournal uses GTK - so that not working nicely would be a bummer.
I didn’t know about Steam Deck using plasma - nice!
I disagree. GNOME is a bit buggy, but plasma is not designed for touch, and I think that matters a lot. Steam deck also has touchpads that most users use when mousing about their regular de, the steam decks touch support is mainly meant for the steam bigscreen ui.
