How Well does Pop OS! Support Touch (reddthat.com)

Recently switched from windows 10 to Debian 12.5 bookworm since I have a unique setup (Nvidia 2070S GPU, 2 1080p monitors, Dell Canvas, and TV) and the default inclusion of Nvidia proprietary drivers and years of Wacom support have made everything workable (nearly out of the box!).

However, touch still isn't great. It works well in Xournal++ and decently in Krita, but struggles everywhere else as a mouse input.

I'm considering hopping to Pop OS! once a stable version of their much anticipated COSMIC DE launches since I love the upgrades over GNOME.

Anybody running a pen display similar to the Dell Canvas on Pop OS! that can speak to it's support for pen and touch input?

I not sure if this helps you at all but I use Pop!_OS on a Thinkpad with touchscreen. On it I do A LOT of PDF work, including forms and signatures. I have had no problems at all in four years of it being my main system.

Note: I do not use pressure sensitive stylus inputs like the Wacom or iPads use.

I agree with this from using Pop on a Surface Pro 8, much more casual usage though: mainly web browsing, watching shows, light gaming and scrolling through PDFs/CBR files. Just using a cheap/non pressure sensitive stylus too

This is about COSMIC Epoch, not their current GNOME.

GNOME or KDE ar far more advanced, while COSMIC Epoch may be cool and clean at the core, it still has like 5 years or more to be equal
