This doesn't answer your question, but Pop!_OS isn't abandoned. They're just updating it only based on Ubuntu LTS versions, because they're working on a new desktop.

I have a touchscreen laptop, and GNOME is 100% the most polished desktop I tried on it. IMO they have the best touchscreen implementation I've ever seen (even better than windows): the mouse pointer is separate from the touchscreen "pointer". So if you tap the display somewhere, your mouse won't go there.
AFAICT it used to be called Calckey
