   I know. But in benches, I got the best results out of it.   
   The problem with that tablet, is if the iGPU has   
   to contribute any significant amount of rendering help.   
      
   Maybe Gnome would support the touch screen better.   
   But then, it might represent more of a load. And   
   Gnome is apparently headed to Wayland-only or something.   
   And that's going to potentially give a performance loss.   
      
   The problem is, the ecosystem is modular, it *should*   
   have required the modules to "support everything", but it didn't.   
      
   Take as an example, Firefox. It supports Wayland, XWayland, X11.   
   It supports all of them. That's an example of model citizenship.   
   If you expect modular mix-and-match from the ecosystem, there's   
   a price to pay for that, and that price is "a little extra work".   
      
   I can expect Firefox to run on Devuan, because it already has   
   the X11 support for the project. I don't know if current Gnome   
   will run on Devuan, the answer is likely to be No.   
      
   Someone who has a ten point touch tablet, will have to tell   
   us what subsystems it really needs, or features from the DE.   
   I don't have a tablet to use as a reference for that.
