KDE for a touch device...

Wed Apr 07, 2010 9:17 pm
Hi, this is first post here.

I was looking over the internet that HP is going to launch what they called Slate, a multi-touch pc thats runs Windows 7. While reading about this new device suddenly came to my mind the idea of this device running a linux based OS (if it can run windows 7, why not linux?...) with a touch friendly GUI. It will be cool to see in the future maybe a KDE touch GUI.

Well I know, this device isnt out yet and this will require a lot of work but it would be nice to see something like this. What do you think guys?

There is already an idea for Plasma-Tablet being voted on here.

However, I agree running KDE on a tablet would be great. I think the netbook version of KDE would do the job pretty well, but would need to be tweaked a bit to work with the changing orientation of the screen.

I, probably like most people here, saw the HP Slate a few months back and my first thought was: Can I run Linux on it?

So hopefully the answer is YES!

People are already working on this.
