How Well does Pop OS! Support Touch (reddthat.com)

Recently switched from windows 10 to Debian 12.5 bookworm since I have a unique setup (Nvidia 2070S GPU, 2 1080p monitors, Dell Canvas, and TV) and the default inclusion of Nvidia proprietary drivers and years of Wacom support have made everything workable (nearly out of the box!).

However, touch still isn't great. It works well in Xournal++ and decently in Krita, but struggles everywhere else as a mouse input.

I'm considering hopping to Pop OS! once a stable version of their much anticipated COSMIC DE launches since I love the upgrades over GNOME.

Anybody running a pen display similar to the Dell Canvas on Pop OS! that can speak to it's support for pen and touch input?

KDE isn't as good on touch screens. Gnome is designed to be convergent and the UI has finger friendly buttons. Pop OS cosmic gnome (the desktop that currently ships with pop) is gnome based but it on X so touch input devices will be problematic
