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.

    Not even slightly true lol

    It works very well on desktops, and is forced upon nobody.

      When distros make it the default DE, that’s forcing it on them. No different then Microsoft bundling a specific browser. I also disagree that it works well on desktops. It lacks features, and tweaking it to resemble and behave like a more common desktop design is cumbersome.

        It’s not forced on you. Nobody makes you use it.

        “It’s default on some distros!!”

        And? Who’s making you use them? Use one of the other distros that doesn’t use Gnome, or install a different DE after installation.

        “It’s like Microsoft forcing Edge!!”

        No it isn’t. For almost all PCs, Windows is installed by default with no other option.

        If you’re using Gnome, it’s because you went out of your way to install it, or you went out of your way to purchase a Linux laptop and chose one with Gnome, which is far from the only option even in that space.

        And you can disagree that it works on desktops all you like. All the people who use it on desktop would disagree with your opinion.

        Just because something doesn’t work like Windows does, doesn’t mean it’s not for desktops.
