I'm not sure on activating Maliit, but I don't have recommendations for improving your typing experience.
Typing with dual trackpads is much more reliable than typing on the touchscreen. With practice it can be decently quick.
Another good option is using KDE connect, which will let you type on your phone keyboard instead.
I try to get accustomed to that since over a year but with me touch typing all the time on phones and tablets, the trackpad method remains alien to me.
I forgot about that. Yeah, it could be a remedy but taking out yet another device is not the pinnacle of usability either...
