Hi, Many thanks! The MS Surface (Pro) is a full-fledged computer with x86_64 architecture (and not ARM). My question is what sort of tools and software would make my experience on Fedora the best. I believe that touch is recognized (as it is on my Dell XPS 13) but I am asking if one of the many DEs are particularly suited to recognizing tablet mode input and opening up the on-screen keyboard (among other things).

I do not have much experience with tablets so I was wondering which DE or spin I should put on it. I guess I would like the keyboard to change when the Surface changes from PC mode to tablet mode and vice-versa if possible. I would also be able to write on it and create documents in pdf, etc for notes. > > > > Am I better off using KDE or LXQt or Gnome? If the latter, is it worthwhile to install the Design Suite spin. I must say that I am not very keen on bloated software but I am open to it. I myself run a non-DE (openbox) environment on my computers and have never gone beyond trying a DE and giving up on it because it is noticeably a bit more sluggish. However, I do recognize that a tablet mode is different and perhaps better handled with a DE. So, I am open to all suggestions and also practical tips. > > > > Many thanks in advance and best wishes, > > Ranjan > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.
