I have an old AIO PC and its touch panel is not working properly. Are there any DEs or distros that doesnt have touch support?

Edit: Thanks to everyone that replied and suggested solutions. For me this worked: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-blacklist-a-module-on-ubuntu-debian-linux

Did you mean with touch support? They can all work without touch if you just don't use it.

Gnome works quite well with touch. I had to jump through some hoops to get KDE Plasma to work well enough on my Steam Deck. I have to use three different on screen keyboards (Maliit, Onboard and Steam's) depending on what I'm doing.

No. The touch panel is making ghost inputs. So, I want to get a DE without touch support or need to figure out how I can disable touch input.

You may have to look into figuring out which driver Linux is using for your touchscreen then blacklist that module so that it doesn't load anymore.

You won! Blacklisting the module worked!!

Thank you!!!

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.
