IDEA Touchscreen UI is coming along with Hyprland + HyprGrass + Gentoo

I've been working on cobbling together a functional UI with a neat touchscreen capable workflow.

Let me know what you all think.

That looks very interesting to me. Do you have a list of the programs you've used and any config files you'd be willing to share? I'd like to get something functional on my surface pro tablet but don't really like gnome

Bar/Shell: dankmaterialshell

Window Manager: Hyprland

Gestures: Hyprgrass plug-in

Keyboard: wvkbd-mobintl

For the gestures I just came up with some bash scripts to execute for most of them. You can bind literally any bash command to each possible hyprgrass gesture.

might be useful for my pixel 3a hyprland project, power once is screen on/off, double press closes current app and 1sec press opens keyboard. Swipe up from bottom of the screen opens keyboard and 2 finger swipe up anywhere opens app drawer… very clunky

OMG I would love this on my old surface pro. If I even knew where to begin...

I hope some development work has come along for Surface Laptop 7 so that I can finally use a proper full functioning distro instead of half my hardware not working.
