Touch Friendly Distro Recommendations (lemmy.world)

Hey all!

I currently utilize Debian and used KDE Plasma on my old computer as a Plex server, RetroNAS, and also run protonVPN when i need to use it for downloading files for Plex to server on my network devices. The only problem is, I have to leave a keyboard and mouse plugged in for when i need to use it, but don’t have much space in the corner it stays in.

I happen to work for a touch screen company and have a glut of touch screens laying around my home office and I’ve got a VESA mount in the corner this PC lives in, and one of my spare touch monitors can go there. Unfortunately I’ve had trouble with touch friendliness with Linux distros. I’d love to find one that can support my usage needs with just the touch screen. So an on screen keyboard, and support for scrolling web pages (Wayland?) and other scrollable areas would be stellar.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a distro that would be great at this kind of thing? My PC uses an intel chipset with integrated graphics, if that matters.

I don’t want to type a LOT, just enough to make a quick search or rename a file occasionally. Setting up with a keyboard and then relying on the touch screen after would be fine.
