Oooh, ooh, ooh… look what just arrived! I’ve been waiting almost a year for it and boy was it worth the wait. My new Linux laptop is a… tablet? Yep. The StarLabs StarLite.
Oh and the screen on this thing! 
@Professor_Stevens It’s got Ubuntu on it from StarLabs (just wanted to make sure everything was working. I’ll likely put Silverblue on it. Although I first want to see if the bug with popovers not showing in Settings (they seem to work in other apps) is a GNOME issue or an Ubuntu issue.
I'm using GNOME on a Manjaro install I did over the weekend. Can you tell me how to reproduce the bug? I'll let you know what happens on my setup.
@Professor_Stevens Just tap the hamburger menu or a drop-down menu in Settings. None of them appear.
@Professor_Stevens (This is not an issue I have on non-touchscreen; wondering if it’s a touchscreen issue or a touchscreen on Ubuntu issue… or…?)
@Professor_Stevens Ah, looks like a three-year old GNOME/GTK 4 issue: apparently popovers don’t work in GTK 4 on touchscreens. I guess I have to install KDE Plasma on this if I want a working tablet? (Unless that has issues on tablets too…)
@aral @Professor_Stevens Plasma on my Steam Deck running Bazzite (Fedora-based atomic distro) seems to work fine with touch. Touch targets seem a bit small, but it's also just a 7-inch, 800p screen.
@uzayran @Professor_Stevens Thanks, that’s good to know :)
