I got fedora KDE with surface-kernel working but the touchscreen usability is LACKING. is there a way to improve the touch interface?
EDIT: I’ve come to realize some of my frustration come from the shitty screen protector the dude before me put on the thing. Also downloading KDE-mobile has helped TREMENDOUSLY
have you looked at fedora’s plasma mobile spin? https://fedoraproject.org/spins/kde-mobile/
This has helped tremendously!
What do you mean by lacking?
I think QML apps are meant to be designed to work on touchscreens but whole pre-QML apps prioritize a mouse+keyboard interface I’d be curious as to how that sucks for touchscreens?
what’s the problem? if you want bigger buttons and stuff you could try gnome?
It ground my computer to a halt, which sucks because I REALLY liked the interface.
really weird, my touchscreen laptop worked fine
My solution in the same situation is to use Gnome. I strongly prefer KDE on a desktop/laptop, but Gnome is an outstanding tablet UI and KDE isn’t… except that Gnome’s onscreen keyboard is crap.
I was using gnome but it made my surface pro 4 basically grind to a halt. Decided to try KDE. It’s much quicker but I get a somewhat stuttery touch screen session. And trying to switch desktops is terrible.
I am surprised. I’ve run both KDE and Gnome on a Surface Go 2 (8100Y), which is either slower or barely faster depending on which CPU you have, and I’ve had no UI lag.
