    I was trying things along the lines of hyprland, sway and i3. I have this idea in my head that a touch screen tiling WM would work really well (from what I’ve seen that’s what people love so much about the iPad nowadays anyway)

    Hyprland has something called hyprgrass I think which enables touchscreen gestures, still in the process of figuring out how to install that in NixOS though. (it’s got a nix.flake but it’s not in nixpkgs and I’m still unsure of how to install flakes to a traditional configuration.nix setup)

      You could probably look into something like paperwm or Niri, I think scrollable window managers have a lot of potential to be a novel but good touch experience

      EDIT: Im not sure if niri support touch, I havent tested it, but I think i might actually try it myself when I get the chance now

        I got a pretty good setup going with forge, problem is gnome is too heavy, this thing has 2gb of memory and like 2ghz CPU
