I just mention System76 because they have exactly what I want, but I have no way of being able to use it. I'm kind of bitter about it.
But yeah I'm getting sold more and more on the touch screen, honestly. I think gestures and such have the potential to be neat, and could optimize my workflow.
Being able to move and resize windowed stuff in i3, something I have bound to mouse keys at the moment, would be really neat with a touch screen. Makes the desktop seem tactile and real.
It is a pain to move them with key presses, so I usually move my hand to the mouse anyhow.
Gestures, like some tap or something to move a window out of the scratchpad, and back to tiling mode or whatever. Neat.
Though the keyboard combination I use now would probably be faster.
In addition, as Someone1234 pointed out, native touch events would be really nice to have when doing web dev. I for one constantly use the Chrome mobile emulator. Native would be better.
