From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did you mean with touch support? They can all work without touch if you just don't use it.
Gnome works quite well with touch. I had to jump through some hoops to get KDE Plasma to work well enough on my Steam Deck. I have to use three different on screen keyboards (Maliit, Onboard and Steam's) depending on what I'm doing.
No. The touch panel is making ghost inputs. So, I want to get a DE without touch support or need to figure out how I can disable touch input.
You can definitely disable the touch pad in any distro. Try the steps in the best answer here
xinput --disableis not working due to WaylandBlocklist the device at a kernel level
Then you have your solution. Use x11 and be done with it
Just use X is not a solution
I kinda understand you, but it would fix the issue, so it is a solution
So would buying a new computer. Its all a matter of perspective I suppost.
