That's correct, the SerenityOS UI does not attempt to be touch friendly. This is a classic mouse & keyboard system by design. :)


This is a really good thing. A lot of desktop stuff seems to presume a desktop has a touch interface which is almost never the case. Using the keyboard and mouse for 8 (or 12 hours in case of IE) is tiring enough. I cannot picture someone using a touchscreen for 8 (or 12 hours in case of IE).


Good! Tablet and phone concerns have been the absolute bane of desktop UIs for so long now.
