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.

¿Touch Friendly Desktop Environment? (feddit.org)

What are your latest DE experiences with Touch- and/or 2in1-devices? I heard some prefer Gnome for their gesture support and modern layout. Others prefer the highly customizable KDE Plasma. Sometimes with custom installed virtual keyboard. However most discussions where kinda dated. Referring to Plasma 5 or older etc.

So I am asking the Fediversians for their experiences and setups! 🐧

I'm using Ubuntu/Gnome/Wayland on the lenovo tp tablet x1 and very happy overall. Mostly using it for browsing, zotero, xournal++ and almost everything works out of the box and very snappy. Not at the level of win or ipad but can do everything I need.
