Hi,
I would like to install Fedora on my MS Surface Pro 3. 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
There are virtual keyboard options such as florence that aren't tied to a DE. See http://florence.sourceforge.net/english/alternatives.html for comparisons with other
virtual keyboards.
