Touch Friendly DE
I'm running Debian testing on my laptop with KDE. I have a ASUS tablet and am looking for suggestions of the best DE for touch. The tablet will mainly be used as a tablet and rarely as a laptop as the keyboard detaches and is pretty bad.

Android 17 desktop also runs the Linux desktop
Hi,
We make a Debian based desktop distribution that runs as an application on top of any Android device. The only requirement is that the Android device needs to be rooted and use Google's standardized GKI kernel. The latest Android 17 release has excellent support for desktop mode and will be the basis for Googlebook laptops. Here is video of Linux desktop running on an Android 17 phone: https://youtu.be/LD9A024yAgc?si=XmkvfRpmwv_Lsf7H
Our latest Linux desktop is now based on Debian Trixie (13.5). You can download a free evaluation version from www.volkspc.org.

What's a good phone I could get for running Linux on?
So, I'm pretty tired of Android and Google's moves. So I wanna switch to the penguin on my phone.. I already use Linux on all 6 laptops I have, it's just my phones that don't run Linux.
I don't want something like a PinePhone because it's way too underpowered.. I want something that has decent to good specs. I tried running postmarketOS on my Galaxy Note9 once but I did it horribly lmao..
Anyway, It doesn't have to be postmarketOS, I want anything but Ubuntu Touch lol, preferably with Plasma Mobile but that's not a requirement..
Any recommendation is welcome! I'll try to respond to any comment I see..
