I’ve been using KDE Plasma on my Levovo Thinkpad Yoga, and while it’s my favorite DE on my desktop where I have a physical mouse and no touchscreen, it’s not great for a laptop plus tablet “convertible” PC. Plasma doesn’t seem to “get” touchscreen input. There’s no automatic on-screen keyboard that pops up when you highlight a text field, you can’t tap and drag, no long-press to right click, and you can only scroll by swiping on the actual scrollbar. Is there another DE, or extension to a DE, that handles inputs more like “Android for laptops”, Chrome OS, or even Windows 10? That is, has a fairly intuitive touchscreen input (it doesn’t have to be perfect like an iPad or something), while still having good support for standard mouse and keyboard. Can anyone recommend anything?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
