Since #gnome makes it hard to use my convertible as a tablet, I installed #plasmadesktop and #plasmamobile today and both are much smoother. Although they have their shortcomings, most of my issues with Gnome in the tablet mode are fixed. I'm still loyal to gnome and I'm waiting for #gnomemobile to be installable on desktop (an actively maintained AUR package maybe?).

Unknown parent • • •1. I couldn't get the on-screen keyboard to work, although I installed Squeekboard.
2. A full-screen quick toggles menu is too much for a big screen.
3. Gestures don't always work from the first time (especially closing apps).
4. There's no way to organize apps and it's too busy on my screen in portrait mode (91 icons).
5. Using touch doesn't hide the cursor.
6. The mobile-friendly apps filter is lacking and unnecessary on big screens.

in reply to Ibrahim 🇵🇸 • • •1. sounds like a configuration issue, guessing that you are running Arch I'd recommend looking at the differences between the PKGBUILDs you are using (AUR?) and the ones @danctnix ship (github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/…)
4. people have come up with hacks, but I've never written about it, so I don't remember where I saw this
5. also likely a config thing
6. can be turned off with gitlab.com/postmarketOS/postma… or by running `gsettings set sm.puri.phosh app-filter-mode '[]'` linmob.net/phosh-0-12-app-draw…

in reply to LINux on MOBile • • •Thank you. I tried again with Squeekboard to no avail, but number 6 worked. I'm planning to try with another distro because there are other issues with the current one anyway.
