hecc do i say here

winter prawn
#

I'd say GNOME. specifically Ubuntu Gnome

timid isle
#

so far gnome has been pretty bad

#

imo, im trying fedora now

winter prawn
#

KDE Plasma 6 would be next top suggestion

#

though i think even plasma 5.27 supported touchscreen/pad gestures

Fedora KDE?

#

u can switch the start menu by right clicking it, n choosing Alternatives, and pick the fullscreen launcher

#

though not sure how a right click works on touchscreen, maybe long press? or add a mouse via usb
