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

    My solution in the same situation is to use Gnome. I strongly prefer KDE on a desktop/laptop, but Gnome is an outstanding tablet UI and KDE isn’t… except that Gnome’s onscreen keyboard is crap.

      I was using gnome but it made my surface pro 4 basically grind to a halt. Decided to try KDE. It’s much quicker but I get a somewhat stuttery touch screen session. And trying to switch desktops is terrible.

        I am surprised. I’ve run both KDE and Gnome on a Surface Go 2 (8100Y), which is either slower or barely faster depending on which CPU you have, and I’ve had no UI lag.
