Best DE for touch screens but also normal use

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.

I would say plasma, Gnome has too many stupid issues for it to be a real contender IMO. I constantly found gnome to be laggy on my chuwi, even to the point that it would occasionally drop inputs.
GNOME is built for touch. if I rotate my HP laptop 90 degrees sideways, GNOME automatically rotates the screen to suit. Its why latest gnome has so many multifinger touch gestures for interacting with screen
Gnome might be built for touch, but that doesn't make it a great experience. Also KDE automatically rotates for me too.
I found the opposite, KDE felt Janky, GNOME is a cohesive experience built specific for touch gestures, tablet use etc
I'm DE-agnostic. What do you mean by 'stupid issues'? That's not really specific.
off the top of my head,
Performance of gnome isn't great I often find it laggy on my lower end devices.
Configuring gnome requires two separate GUI apps, and then you still may need cli.
Gnome apps like nautilus, the file browser are also absurdly slow, sometimes taking more then 4 seconds for me (and others see here https://medium.com/@fulalas/gnome-mess-is-not-an-accident-4e301032670c) to load thumbnails.
I found gestures to be inconsistent on my Chuwi hi10x too. They often times wouldn't work and I would need to try multiple times.
I did have other issues, but I didn't exactly log them.
