why do you think are touchscreens not standard for laptops? (feddit.de)

not even apple uses them. I'd like to sometimes point and click on my linux machine. With my finger. What's wrong with that, it seems to work well on all the smartphones out there.

Honestly I hate touchscreens so much lol. So many of the computers at my work place have touch screens, and it drives me crazy because, I'm often trying to explain to someone OK click here (then my fingernail grazes the screen and clicks it for them)... crap I wanted you to do that so you'd actually learn.

That and then actually using it. It's imprecise as hell, and to add to the annoyance, you can't quite tell where you are clicking because, your finger is blocking what you are touching.

Generally speaking the first thing I do is disable the thing if I get a computer with one.
