Stuart Longland (VK4MSL)<p>Doing a bit of an explore of the desktop environments on the Toughpad to see what's out there that's touch friendly. This is on Debian 12. I'll probably re-visit this when I move to Debian 13 in a few months time.</p><p>- <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gnome</span></a> : tried both <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>X11</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wayland</span></a> versions, Classic and the present UI… quite inflexible and the UI elements are practically invisible for driving with a stylus. On-screen keyboard is next to useless as it puts digits and symbols on separate pages and does not implement function keys or modifiers.<br>- <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/MATE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MATE</span></a> : Seems to have limited screen scaling options and appearance customisation making stylus/touch operation tricky… but at least Onboard keyboard works.<br>- <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Cinnamon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cinnamon</span></a> : has the best built-in on-screen keyboard seen so far, but summoning it is not obvious and the layout is still sub-optimal for passwords (but ESC, function keys and modifiers are there!). You lose ⅓ of the screen to the keyboard, even if you're not using it.<br>- <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/XFCE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>XFCE</span></a> seems to work pretty well, I was able to bump the size of the panel up a bit, it uses Onboard for the on-screen keyboard, seems to be the best so far.</p><p>Just waiting on <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/LXQT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LXQT</span></a> to install… we'll see how that is.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Toughpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Toughpad</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Touchscreen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Touchscreen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Tablet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tablet</span></a></p>
