I got fedora KDE with surface-kernel working but the touchscreen usability is LACKING. is there a way to improve the touch interface?

EDIT: I’ve come to realize some of my frustration come from the shitty screen protector the dude before me put on the thing. Also downloading KDE-mobile has helped TREMENDOUSLY

    Stuttering, two finger support is missing (I guess , I haven’t seen an option for it ). And I can’t switch desktops and such.

      My Thinkpad touchscreen works great on Plasma with multitouch support. Multitouch should be enabled by default, try doing a pinch to zoom in Firefox or a three finger up or down gesture to show the desktop overview

      3 finger swipe switches desktop for me. I keep the desktop switcher widget in my panel for when I use the stylus.

      What OS are you using? just reread your post. I didnt have a great time on fedora. It was my first OS I tried. Then I went with garuda.

        Yeah, I agree. “Stuttering” doesn’t sound like a touchpad-specific issue. My guess is there’s something funny about Fedora, either drivers or kernel flags or default plasma settings, that just isn’t playing well with that specific device. I wouldn’t be surprised if another distro magically fixes it.

        Edit: Or there’s a hardware issue. Gnome caused the device to grind to a halt?

          It did but I’m using a surface pro 4 with a special surface-kernel to make it work. so it’s probably my own fault for playing god.

          (Well maybe a lesser god)
