How come, as far as I know, none of you ever made any #2in1#laptops, like Acer's Spin series, HP's x360 laptops, a non negligible part of Lenovo's Yoga laptops, or a growing number of Chromebook?
Because I would buy such a Laptop, especially if it used #CoreBoot (or a distro of it) as firmware. 😉
Good question. I think most of us stick to ODM providers that simply don't offer these kind of laptops/convertibles. Now that touchscreen supports gets better under Linux and the desktop environments, we have to keep your suggestion mind. However, it's not an easy product to bring on the market.
@novacustom@tuxedocomputers@purism@system76@slimbook@system76@coreboot Never said it would be easy or fast. I don't except to see such a product comme in the next few years. By then #Wayland will be more largely adopted and, I hope, most #DE not already well suited for tactile will propose a mode more appropriate for such an usage. I'm looking at your #Plasma desktop, @kde. 😉 (Along with XFCE, LXQt, Mate, Cinnamon, …)
Not that I don't like Plasma5, it's currently my daily-driver. But I'm not sure it would be well suited for tactile usage as it is. (And don't know if Plasma Mobile can be easily installed on a desktop Linux.)
