Hey all!

I currently utilize Debian and used KDE Plasma on my old computer as a Plex server, RetroNAS, and also run protonVPN when i need to use it for downloading files for Plex to server on my network devices. The only problem is, I have to leave a keyboard and mouse plugged in for when i need to use it, but don’t have much space in the corner it stays in.

I happen to work for a touch screen company and have a glut of touch screens laying around my home office and I’ve got a VESA mount in the corner this PC lives in, and one of my spare touch monitors can go there. Unfortunately I’ve had trouble with touch friendliness with Linux distros. I’d love to find one that can support my usage needs with just the touch screen. So an on screen keyboard, and support for scrolling web pages (Wayland?) and other scrollable areas would be stellar.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a distro that would be great at this kind of thing? My PC uses an intel chipset with integrated graphics, if that matters.

    Just to check, can’t you remote into it instead? I use NoMachine, but there are lots of alternatives that might suit you better 🙂

      I’ve considered it, I just don’t want to have to turn on or pull up/out another computer to remote into it if it would be easier to walk up to the screen in the corner to just download something real quick.

        Fair enough. I’m usually using my computer when I remember that I should have done something on my server a few days before 🙈
