It's not about the distro. It's about what window manager you want to use. The big ones are: <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/KDEPlasma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KDEPlasma</span></a> (what I like), <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME</span></a>, and <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/cinnamon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cinnamon</span></a>. Smaller ones (but still good) include <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/XFCE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>XFCE</span></a>, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MATE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MATE</span></a>, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LXDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LXDE</span></a>, and <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LXQT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LXQT</span></a>. Then there are the people who want a tiling window manager like <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/i3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>i3</span></a> or <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/sway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sway</span></a>. Any of these could work on your preferred distro. </p><p>Maybe you should start a poll.</p>

FWIW, I've successfully used <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/LXQt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LXQt</span></a> on resource-starved machines and VMs, but (IIRC) that's usually been on green-field installations.</p>

Doing a bit of an explore of the desktop environments on the Toughpad to see what's out there that's touch friendly. This is on Debian 12. I'll probably re-visit this when I move to Debian 13 in a few months time.

- #Gnome : tried both #X11 and #Wayland versions, Classic and the present UI… quite inflexible and the UI elements are practically invisible for driving with a stylus. On-screen keyboard is next to useless as it puts digits and symbols on separate pages and does not implement function keys or modifiers.
- #MATE : Seems to have limited screen scaling options and appearance customisation making stylus/touch operation tricky… but at least Onboard keyboard works.
- #Cinnamon : has the best built-in on-screen keyboard seen so far, but summoning it is not obvious and the layout is still sub-optimal for passwords (but ESC, function keys and modifiers are there!). You lose ⅓ of the screen to the keyboard, even if you're not using it.
- #XFCE seems to work pretty well, I was able to bump the size of the panel up a bit, it uses Onboard for the on-screen keyboard, seems to be the best so far.

Just waiting on #LXQT to install… we'll see how that is.

Il mio compromesso tra semplicità d’uso e leggerezza:
Archlinux su un netbook del 2010, ancora perfettamente operativo.

Software installato:

Arch Linux (x64) – con kernel LTS
Bootloader: Limine
Display Manager: Ly
Desktop Environment: LXQt + Openbox
File Manager: PCManFM
Suite per l’ufficio: Calligra
Multimedia: VLC
Web Browser: Falkon + SearXNG

Netbook ideale per scrittura, navigazione leggera, gestione di file/documenti e anche retro gaming.

#UnoLinux #archlinux #lxqt @linux

switching to lxqt (again) !:

yeah, so I've been getting bored of xfce for quite a while now and I wanted to try lxqt since it seems like a pretty cool de overall and I've never really used a qt based desktop for a long period of time.

the last time i did this i switched back to xfce because of a few minor inconveniences without even trying to look for solution so I'm gonna use lxqt only for at least 30 days.

prob gonna use lubuntu since it's (imo) one of the only good lxqt distros out there even though it is one of the official ubuntu spins with snaps
