Touch focused UI

Why not focus 100% on touch with KDE? Drop to „desktop” support and be the best where there is no #1 (in Linux world)?

Just thinking....

Which would greatly reduce the userbase, not everybody wants a purely touch based GUI.

And there are several technical difficulties to achieve that, starting with a very heterogeneous hardware out there, and that is only the beginning of the problem...


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

I absolutely understand that argument but maybe doing one thing really good might be better than doing everything good enough?
Don’t get me wrong. I’m switching KDE/Gnome/Xfce constantly (+ using iPad Pro rescently) since Mandrake became Mandriva (my first distro).
After using iPad pro I’m used to having a touch screen so it’s hard to go back. Why not GUI that is an direct alternative to iOS? “mobile first”

I just want it to run on my tablet https://productz.com/en/archos-101-g9-10-1/p/dg81
Good machine but could me more flexible with linux.
