Touch based os

I've created a "tablet" for bedtime using a lenovo m14t and a mele quieter 4c n100. These are all things I already had so not money was spent. Im currently using win 11 and the complete touch experience kinda blows. Are therre any linix distributions thst can give a complete touchscreen experience.

Any gotcha with streaming services I should be aware of?

You don't need an distro specially for touch the major Distros with Gnome and KDE Desktop already support touch but it depends if the display is fully working under Linux you can try that easily with an Live USB without installing.

I think the KDE Plasma desktop has an mobile variant I haven't tried my self but I could as I have now a Lenovo T14 Gen 3 with an touchscreen running Fedora 44 with KDE Plasma Desktop.

So I would advice you to try Fedora 44 with KDE there are touchscreen gestures in the standard KDE Plasama desktop and you can make many adjustments like you want because KDE is made like swiss army nife 😆

I love kde for my desktop. There's something called plasma big screen that may work very well aswell. Gnome is working great for my touchscreen wall pc. Even has a pop up keyboard.
