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 know you mentioned you have access to touch screens, so you wanted to use an on screen keyboard to do this, but just an FYI:

    If it would suite you better for this, or you get caught in a bind, you can use KDE connect to use your phone as a keyboard/mouse on a remote computer on the same network. Its not a great solution to use for normal computer usage, but as you said if you only have to do this once in a while to rename a file or do something simple infrequently, it could be an option.
