Power Consumption on Suspend

[Kevin Kofler]

I also started with Xfce, but Gnome 3 turned out to be far superior for touch, without being a resource drain like some people assume - it has autorotate, separates the desktop itself from the application menu (which means more space for actual app usage) and you can mark text pretty intuitively. Long tap right click is also supported in the settings, and nautilus has a single tap folder open option... This is the closest I've ever seen to a convergence DE

That would be because not only has gnome-shell been using some design concepts from mobile DEs from the beginning, even on desktops (e.g., running all applications maximized without window decorations), but there has also been work recently to allow using the standard gnome-shell instead of Phosh on mobile devices. (There are already some OS images for the PinePhone that allow you to try that out.)
