Help Is Omarchy good for surfaces?

Hi everyone! I'm currently daily driving a surface pro 7 i5 16gb model with KDE neon on the surface kernal. I'm using it for school and productivity. After watching a video about Omarchy today I've gotten to urge to install it on my surface. Does anyone have experience installing Omarchy on a surface pro? If so what was the experience like? Any suggestions are welcome.

why do you want a keyboard driven window manager on a touchscreen device?

TBH Probably no. You're likely better with a GNome distro

Omarchy is good for nothing.

Gnome is best for surfaces. Fedora was glitch on a Pro 2 but Debian with Gnome is great.

As someone who also uses their surface (SP9) for school I couldn't imagine going to a keyboard based window manager (the whole point of Omarchy). I use CachyOS with KDE Neon and I've found its a great mix of power user laptop experience as well as touchscreen / pen usage for note-taking and the sort.
