This is a big deal if you want to use common Linux desktops in pure "tablet" mode, with no keyboard or mouse attached. You can move windows easily enough by grabbing the header bar, but there's no equivalent for resizing. You can of course rely on full-screen or half-screen tiled windows, but it's a big UX downgrade compared to using a mouse and/or keyboard.
(Mind you, a tablet PC running Linux will nonetheless be vastly more productive than even an iPad. But still.)
- eviks 3y agoHaven't heard of great UI solutions here, though it might be better to have some customizable gesture for window management trigger, after which you can do the same as on a desktop holding a modifier: touch/drag from window center area to move touch/drag ~20-30% of window's sides/corners to resize in that direction
