    No. The touch panel is making ghost inputs. So, I want to get a DE without touch support or need to figure out how I can disable touch input.

      Seems like what you want is to disable the touch screen rather than a DE that specifically doesn’t support it… Often times the touchscreen can be disabled in the BIOS/UEFI. But if that’s not the case see: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/531919

      Another option would be to look into calibrating the touchscreen to stop the ghost inputs.

        There is no option in BIOS to disable touch input.

        The stackexchange solution didnt work. When I tried to set it to unbind, Im getting permission denied even as root.

        Touchscreen is physically damaged.

      You may have to look into figuring out which driver Linux is using for your touchscreen then blacklist that module so that it doesn’t load anymore.

        You won! Blacklisting the module worked!!

        Thank you!!!

        xinput --disable is not working due to Wayland

          Then you have your solution. Use x11 and be done with it

              I kinda understand you, but it would fix the issue, so it is a solution
