From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The keyboard situation on Wayland and especially KDE is abysmal. Through a workaround I managed to get Onboard working. But it often crashes for me when using it with touch.
The keyboard from Steam actually works best for me. But I don't know how to pull it up without a gamepad. I've got a post showing how to get it working outside of the Steam Deck. https://swg-empire.de/post/853437
All in all I actually think that Gnome is better suited for touch devices. But I just don't like how it works overall. But maybe your girlfriend likes it.
