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!
My Lenovo T480 (November 2018) has a Touchscreen and it pretty much just works. Running Fedora 39.
The only issue I have is sometimes after waking from sleep, it will think I’m continuously touching and tapping in a random spot. A close of the laptop lid and reopen after a few seconds seems to fix whatever causes it, or if that doesn’t work a reboot always works. I haven’t figured out what it’s caused by exactly. On older kernels it used to be more frequent, I originally installed fc36 and used dnf to upgrade up to fc39 over that time, and since being on newer Fedora it seems to happen much less frequently. It’s more stable now.
