The biggest issue isn't really KDE or Gnome... it's the apps you launch. There are no standard desktop apps that are touch friendly.
sure. For the little I have used it, Windows don't seems to be much better on this respect
Depends on the application. Take Chrome as an example. In Windows, the scrolling and zooming interaction is quite natural to use. You can swipe to scroll up/down/left/right and pinch zoom. In Linux (regardless of window manager) you don't get swipe scrolling or pinch zoom. To scroll you have to play hit/miss on the scrollbar, and zoom with the mouse or menu Another issue is onscreen keyboards. There are several, and I've found that KDE kvkbd to be the most usable and configurable at the desktop level. Overall though, I find it easiest to use a combination of mouse and touch screen. Until the applications catch up and provide an option for touch optimization, it's going to have to be a combination. Oh, and Peter mentioned Plasma Active. I've used that on my tablet as well, and... it's basically the same issue. You get a KDE interface/overlay that is somewhat touch friendly with fat-finger sized controls right up until you launch an application... then you're right back at needing the mouse/keyboard.
