Hey there folx, I’m getting ready to go back to school and I was curious of any distro that have good pen support. The basic use see is likely just reading studies and being able to highlight in the PDF.
I’m looking at either a new framework12 or trying to find a surface to meet these needs. Likely won’t be until next year I’m in school so I have time to tinker and troubleshoot.
I prefer gnome with dash to panel, just think it by default is more suited for touch screens, use it on my handheld with touch.
Just one of many extensions, and I use the tweak/tuning apps, gnome is a hassle or fun to set up depending on what kind of person you are. KDE you just hop in and customize so it is easier to setup.
This is more of a desktop environment thing than a distro-specific thing. If I recall correctly, both KDE Plasma and GNOME both have touchscreen support. Pretty much every, single distro offers one, the other, or both. So I’d just look for one who’s marketing to your usecase and try it out.
Super helpful, thanks!
I’ve used Plasma via Fedora Kinoite and it works great. Flipping the 2in1 screen over disables the keyboard automatically and the touchscreen just works fine. Recently Plasma made nice changes to their on screen keyboard. Also, pressure sensitive pens worked perfectly as long as the note taking program utilized that function.
Awesome, thanks for the info. what device have you been using?
