From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Gnome, extensions make it your way, on touchscreen I like arcmenu with a grid layout, and my dash on the left, always visible and large, easy to tap. I did not like kde with touchscreen, gnome is pretty much setup for it as is and you don't need extensions, just makes It nicer.
Gnome control center is great, standard for touch devices, so you're already used to it. Everythings a bit big and minimal while kde always has more going on on the page and is ideal for mouse use imo.
On screen keyboard extension works well for setting different layouts and making your own if you want. Kde is based around being able to right click? Gnome works well with left clicks (standard touch input) alone.
