@aud thus, if you have a, say, 10 point multitouch monitor, you can't just go and make a piano out of it, because 1) the automotive industry did not design a touch protocol that supports playing chords and frankly it would be irresponsible if they did, and 2) to date as far as I can tell not a single wayland developer has stopped to consider that this effectively shackles linux touch screen interfaces to the poverty of imagination that is the automotive industry

@aud the touch cancel event allegedly (someone told me this on here, I don't have a source for it) is a contrivance of the automotive industry, where the singular purpose of a touch screen is to allow for simple control over the basic functions of a car so they can slash costs. A careless implementation of this protocol (KDE, gnome, and wayland compositors) results in a touch multi-touch screen that effectively cannot be used anything more than that.

@aud this is the bug I filed for it: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510513
it got unceremoniously marked as a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402857, which is a decision I disagree with, but I did not feel like arguing as it seemed like there was a complete lack of urgency towards touch screen support in general and pretending otherwise would be a waste of my time and theirs.
