What are your latest DE experiences with Touch- and/or 2in1-devices? I heard some prefer Gnome for their gesture support and modern layout. Others prefer the highly customizable KDE Plasma. Sometimes with custom installed virtual keyboard. However most discussions where kinda dated. Referring to Plasma 5 or older etc.

So I am asking the Fediversians for their experiences and setups! 🐧

People at postmarketOS is working on Linux for smartphones. They are using Gnome. There is your answer.

Correction, hi postmarketOS dev here, we are using whatever the user wants. We ship Phosh, GNOME Mobile, Plasman Mobile, SXMO, Lomiri. We don't have just one interface.

Ubuntu Touch and postmarketOS use GNOME too.

Ubuntu Touch uses Lomiri (a successor of Unity), not GNOME.

No, Lomiri. It is a succesor of Unity

there is also Plasma Mobile (I have no experience with either of those).

I was originally thinking more in the direction of classical desktops in the tablet/2-in1 format.

Plasma Mobile exists but let's just say it's not good.

A correction they are using PHOSH, which is a variant of GNOME.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
