paper VS lxterminal

Anyway, I'm just curious how other Arch/Surface users are faring. What have you tried that works, and what doesn't? I've seen mention that there are DEs, like paperde, which is designed for touch screen access, and I'm curious if they offer a better experience. Lastly, please feel free to share any tips/recommendations.

PaperDE It's a small project I've been interested in for a very long time. I don't know how usable it is yet, but I'd really like to try it out. But there is like zero documentation on this thing. There's the official installation guide, but well it's really not an installation guide at all. I did all these things and the best result I managed to get was manually initiating a wayfire session(?) that sort of uses PaperDE except it's completely broken. I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong, but well with no real documentation it's impossibly difficult to find out what. Anyone here managed to figure this out? Cause I'm completely lost.

`xterm` is the default terminal of `xorg`, which a basic emulator. Not sure what you mean by "basic" terminal, there is a list of most used terminals: linux-terminal-emulators. An example of basic and desktop independent terminal would be lxterminal. To install it, run in a terminal `sudo apt update && sudo apt install lxterminal`.

It’s a bit more than a rebranding, being completely rebased on a different framework, and LXDE still gets some work, for example, LXTerminal has commits from September. [0]
