Help me out here Sup Forums. I'm not new to Linux and run Arch on my desktop, but I don't know anything about Linux on tablets. Which distro or DE works best? Specifically: >What DE has good touch support? >What DE supports touch gestures out of the box, or can be easily configured? >What DE is capable of detecting when a keyboard and/or mouse is connected, and changes the interface accordingly?
Spoon-feed me the answers to my questions please. Or otherwise just talk about how you use Linux on your tablets.

Perhaps I should clarify that I mean GNU/Linux.
Samuel Gray

Ryan Reyes
Just don't. Use Windows or Android on it.
Isaiah Reed
GNOME.

>how you use Linux on your tablets. I don't. I actually like usable systems.
Dominic Perry
gnome

For gnu/linux there is ubports(ubuntu touch),sailfishX,postmarket OS(This one is nice),Lune OS But most of them have small hardware support. (except postmarket)

GNOME is the only remotely useful DE on a small touchscreen device. Best idea is to just not bother and use Windows or Android, preferrably the former if you want a useful system.
Dominic Nguyen
Plasma mobile or Ubports, or hell, even Sailfish All wrong answers
Carter Richardson
GuhNOME is the only right answer

+1 for gnome. It's the only one that works well out of the box.
Also touchegg is good for gestures, and I've found evdev input driver for the touchscreen works better than libinput. Oh and use chromium.

Android is the only DE supported by the Linux Kernel that supports useful multi-touch features. Anything else can't even start using flicks and spreads yet. Gnome has to use a huge scrollbar that comes out the side of the Window, AHahahaha. How's grab and drag for firefox working out for you?! Hahahahaaa

>touch Xfce, GNOME and KDE have good touch support. >gestures This will be software dependent >automatic interface changing I don't believe any DE does this. You'd have to make a script for this yourself.
Justin Gomez
for touch support you should go with gnome.
Lincoln Mitchell
>small hardware support >exept postmarket postmarket doesn't run well or fully featured on any hardware it "supports". This is not true about ubuntu touch or sailfish.
Logan Hill
>thinks android is a DE >thinks other people are stupid how is middle school?
