Gnome and KDE both can understand tablet/convertible/2-in-1 devices. I have a Thinkpad Yoga and Arch with Gnome at least is fine in tablet mode. Haven't tried KDE. Actual driver support may depend on your specific device in terms of driver support. My Lenovo worked perfectly fine after install with nothing special and gets updates through fwupd, and I know that the Microsoft Surface tablets have a special kernel you've gotta install with some Surface specific stuff in it in order for everything to work. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago (2 children) KDE should have a far superior tablet mode on Wayland compared to Gnome permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [โ] doctorflynt@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago disagree. while KDE has a Tablet mode it still depends on the device.

OSK is way worse, general GUI design is not touch friendly, worse pen support... And that is before extensions like gjs oak for gnome. permalink fedilink source parent
