    Gnome has a small brother Phosh, which has a bit better touch support, but it was developed for phones. I remember played with that on an x86 tablet years ago and it worked a bit better than Gnome, I don’t know how its development going on nowadays.

    Gnome got some funding from German Ministry of Education Prototype fund for its mobile ux in 2022, so it’s a bit unexpected that it’s still in this state: https://logs.gnome.org/shell-dev/2022/09/09/gnome-shell-on-mobile-an-update/

    I know mobile and general touch ux is not the same but they are closely related.

      Phosh has come a long way under the development that pinephone and librem phones sparked. But so has Plasma Mobile. I don’t think either of them are great for larger formats yet, they are built more for the phone format. But they are both leaps and bounds ahead of even a few years ago.
