It took a long time to work itself out, but today Linux+GNOME is the only mainstream system that's usable for real productive work on a pure tablet or palmtop device. Far more so in fact than even Apple's iPad. And it got done without having to write and test separate apps, everything has a responsive interface that works throughout the range, from a small handheld to a big desktop screen. That's a remarkable feat.

To be frank, I believe that's mostly thanks to the work put into it because of the Librem 5 project and related initiatives. Before that, GNOME didn't really work all that well on touchscreens at all. 2014 GNOME felt like it would work well on a tablet, but it didn't - as you noted, it took some time to make it work.
