GNOME's "tablet" approach actually works great on well-supported x86 hardware (either actual tablets or touchscreen laptops that can flip the screen for tablet use). It was truly state-of-the-art until quite recently, only surpassed by the new iPadOS 26 release.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoHave a starlite tablet and can say no, not a single gnome video player works well with tablets. We lost so much functionality in the gnome 3 transition, and they didn’t even succeed at touch. Browser based video players work well with touch so the hardware is fine.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoA funny part of this is several of these video players look like they are built for touch… lots of round corners and buttons. But when you try to use them most functionality is only available by keyboard.
- MisterTea 1y agoThing is, I'm not a tablet user so those features dont mean anything to me. I also dont have a tablet save for a Surface Go I rarely use. My newest laptop is an old Lenovo x270 from 2012 or so.
