I've got a refurbed thinkpad yoga in the mail. It's a stylus oriented laptop so I need to change the software I use to be more clicky.
For years I've favoured stuff like netctl, xrandr, xbacklight etc etc over GUI alternatives and usually gone for very minimal WM setups (e.g. dwm).
For obvious reasons this would be actual hell with a stylus in tablet mode, but it's been around 15 years since I last had a clicky linux setup and I'm really lost as to how to set one up on arch. What do you folks recommend for laptops?
EDIT: update for wayward souls. Went with plasma, less works nicely out of the box but gnome hung occasionally on a 2019 yoga x1. There's a lot about plasma I would say is annoying but configuring it is vastly easier than gnome.
I've used KDE on my convertible during uni and it worked pretty good. I mean for a GUI oriented setup your options are pretty much KDE, gnome, cinnamon, xfce (don't know how good that is with touch though) or cosmic (is that out yet? Idk tbh).
Afaik gnome and kde both have good touchscreen support, maybe you'll need to do some slight modifications, so I'd say just try them out and see what you like.
