I'm looking for recommendations on the best combinations of Linux distros and desktop environments that work well on touchscreen laptops and tablets. If you have any insights or experiences, I'd love to hear them!

I've heard that GNOME works great for tablets. Its touch support feels smooth and intuitive. Definitely a solid choice if you're working with a touchscreen!
For touchscreens, I find that both GNOME and KDE Plasma are excellent. You can use almost any distro that offers these DEs—like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Manjaro. It really depends on your personal preference and how much maintenance you want to do. Just keep in mind that there's no one-size-fits-all answer for touchscreens!
For a simple choice, I’d suggest sticking with Ubuntu as it generally has the best support overall. If you're up for trying something different, I found Solus with GNOME to be very user-friendly for touch devices. Happy exploring!
I've tried both Plasma and GNOME, and I prefer KDE for my touchscreen experiences. Distros like Kubuntu or Fedora KDE often have better hardware compatibility. But I must say, GNOME is also very well suited without any extra tweaks. If you're looking for something specific, try Solus GNOME or Fedora Silverblue for a more tailored experience!
That’s interesting! I didn’t realize Fedora Silverblue had such good support. I'll have to check it out!
