So I’ve always wondered if the 2-in-1 form factor might be right for me, and today I pulled the trigger on a used 2-in-1 Dell Latitude 5320 13.3" w/ Intel i7-1185G7 16GB RAM 256GB SSD off eBay.

Any specific distros or desktop environments that I should look into or steer clear of in terms of touch/tablet functionality?

I’m used to Gnome and/or Cinnamon, but open to trying other things. I would love to hear from the community. Thanks!

    How has your experience been w/ on-screen keyboard support in KDE Plasma? Any issues like the ones boredsquirrel mentions?

      I use Maalit (or is it Maliit? I can never recall). It works and has an extended symbols button, just like a mobile phone osk. It doesn’t have a proper configuration panel, it’s instead configured by gsettings or something, I have never actually tried. It also as a quirk with a swipe-down gestures that is used to disable it, and is sometimes activated accidentally by the palm of the hand. But apart from that, really nice experience overall.
