Hello everyone!
I’m finally tired enough of the invasive and anti-consumer practices of Windows to convert over. I’m going to start with my laptop, but I’m concerned about compatibility for 2-in-1 convertible touchscreens.
A distro that’s sufficient for both computers would be ideal for consistency’s and simplicity’s sake.
- 2-in-1 convertible touchscreen laptop. Can be folded into a “tablet” mode. Used for web browsing and simple games
- Main workstation for gaming, programming, etc. NVIDIA GPU (no touchscreen)
Most anecdotes say touchscreen support is hit or miss, and the On Screen Keyboard / Auto-rotate support is an additional challenge. MINT with cinnamon seems to be the best contender at the moment due to its compatibly with most games and the touchscreen support seems to be there.
But, I’d love some fresh perspectives as most sources were ~a year old. Thanks for your time!
I’ve read that latest Microsoft surface devices have proprietary touchscreen implementation so it can’t be included in main Linux kernel
thus, you need to install a customized kernel for that, read up linux-surface for that
aside from this, I think every laptop works just fine under Wayland
