    The issues with the touchscreen seems to be a common issue with Linux tablets in general, in my personal experience, sadly.

      @SnotFlickerman @wb14123 I’m slightly out of touch however Ubuntu on touchscreen was pretty good. Gnome had a pull-up virtual keyboard. Chrome supported touch scrolling but Firefox, iirc, required a plugin. It’s not refined but you don’t fight with it in my experience

        Oh I really meant on the hardware side. Not really knocking Linux itself as much as per-device implementation of touchscreens seems iffy at best. So I’ve just had a lot of similar issues with entirely different (read: cheap) hardware.

        No, as I have not used any of those. This is my experience with cheap windows tablets turned into Linux tablets… much like taking a Surface 4 and putting Linux on it. Usually everything works great but the touchscreen is wonky, that’s all.
