Day before yesterday (I was going to say yesterday, but that's not true for me now XD), I realized I haven't done any testing in 13.1 with a touchscreen.
I used the Dell, since it was the easiest thing to hook up the touchscreen to. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot to say, since I didn't really get to do enough with it before the Dell locked up and started beeping incessantly...
Anyway, in most aspects it worked well, like I was using a weird tablet-PC; the only trouble I had was anything along the top bar since the bezel of the touchscreen made that annoying and awkward.
The on-screen keyboard looks nice, except when I went into YaST, it got all weird and stayed at the top right of the screen in a semi-shrunken state, but still usable. Only problem with it is that the cursor hovers over the last key pressed, so password entry isn't secure for someone looking over your shoulder.
There's an option to long-press for right click menu, but the touchscreen was too sensitive, so the cursor kept jittering around and making it impossible to pop up (I got it to work a couple times with a capacitive stylus).
All in all though, it's not bad at all, as GNOME 3 was made to be compatible with touchscreens as well as regular input methods. If I get something with a touchscreen that I can install 13.1 on, I definitely will.
