So I’ve always wondered if the 2-in-1 form factor might be right for me, and today I pulled the trigger on a used 2-in-1 Dell Latitude 5320 13.3" w/ Intel i7-1185G7 16GB RAM 256GB SSD off eBay.
Any specific distros or desktop environments that I should look into or steer clear of in terms of touch/tablet functionality?
I’m used to Gnome and/or Cinnamon, but open to trying other things. I would love to hear from the community. Thanks!
Gnome, extensions make it your way, on touchscreen I like arcmenu with a grid layout, and my dash on the left, always visible and large, easy to tap. I did not like kde with touchscreen, gnome is pretty much setup for it as is and you don’t need extensions, just makes It nicer.
Gnome control center is great, standard for touch devices, so you’re already used to it. Everythings a bit big and minimal while kde always has more going on on the page and is ideal for mouse use imo.
On screen keyboard extension works well for setting different layouts and making your own if you want. Kde is based around being able to right click? Gnome works well with left clicks (standard touch input) alone.
