Touch screens on linux?
(lemmy.world)
I was daily driving Pop_OS before my System76 finally gave it up. I mostly enjoyed the experience, but when my laptop gave it up, I had to run to a big box store and grab a replacement asap. I'm now riding an HP envy touch screen fliptop and (:puke:) windows 11.
I've been hesitant to throw linux onto this puppy because frankly, having never had a touch/ flip screen before, I'm really digging it. Has anyone here run linux on a touch screeen? Issues? A specific release I should consider? Any other considerations?
I had the Envy's cousin, the HP Elite DragonFly (also a touch/flip), and it worked great under Linux (Arch + Gnome). All gestures worked out of the box and was pretty smooth too. HP touchscreens are generally pretty standardized so I reckon your Envy should work fine too. Just use whatever distro you're comfortable with, most distros should work fine.
