Issues with Pop!_OS running on a Raspberry Pi with touch screen

Last Updated on April 26, 2023 by pg@petergamma.org

  • The Pop!_OS ARM BETA demo starts at 10:36 in the video
  • it is positive that the pop up keyboard comes up in this OS, but why is this not implemented for instance in Raspberry Pi OS as well?
  • according to the documentation, Pop!_OS 22.04 was developed for the Raspberry Pi 4/400. What does that mean? Does the OS only run on the Raspberry Pi 4/400? Which features are affected to be special for the Raspberry Pi 4/400?
  • We found no user comments on this site of the developer of the Pop!_OS 22.04, is it not used by other people? You can also comment on this site in the comments. Whe are happy to discuss with you about this topic.
  • Why is there no pen control in Pop!_OS as in this example?
  • And why is there no pen precision calibration in the OS as in this example?
  • It seems that this OS is specialized for touch. But do we need a special OS for this? Is it not better to integrate the shown features into Raspberry Pi OS as shown above?
  • Why is this not shown on a 5 inch screen so that we can use it together with a Raspberry Pi as a PinePhone alternative?
  • The keyboard comes up with terminal, but why does it not come up with all applications?
  • Is there a way to make the keyboard come up manually?
  • Chromium works better with touch, why is this not shown?
  • Who uses an OS where there are issues with installing new apps? Will this issue be resolved?
  • The reviewer mentions a Pop OS tablet, but why is there no video with a Raspberry Pi and a a 5 inch touch display which can be used as as a mobile Linux SBC for computing as an alternative for the PinePhone for this application?
