I haven't done the touchscreen side of it, but have been thinking about switching to touch screen, currently my setup is just a display for infomation.

I'm currently running a raspberry pi with a 15" portable monitor (Here is one that is actually a touchscreen as well, mine aren't. https://www.amazon.com/ADPOP-Portable-15-6-External-Extender...)

For software I'm using magic-mirror, and then use that to link into my calendar, Home-assistant, weather etc. There are some input modules that can be added, so that might enable some touch-features.

I'm just renting right now, so I just have the Pi mounted in a case by the plug with some of those 3M picture frame strips and run the HDMI to the monitor (also mounted with picture frame strips) hidden in a track, If I owned, I'd bring the plug up behind the monitor, and flush the PI in wall and then wrap the monitor around a frame or something.
