ok so #elementaryos probably not gonna work for a touch screen computer. kind of a shame since that drastically and severely reduces accessibility use cases. their problem is they're still using onboard which hasn't been maintained well for some time. most of the xorg-era osks hardly work at all anymore. it's also not nearly wayland ready yet. problem with wayland osks is they're being made for specific desktops like gnome or kde, so there's going to be a ton of redundant effort making a generic wayland-session osk. that's kind of the double-edged sword of shipping your own desktop is you have full control over it but you also forego the support of big projects and have to do everything yourself, which leads to edge cases being unsupported, or reliance on third party vendors that you don't control. really the only solution to this is roll your own OSK or abandon that use case entirely.
