I have an old AIO PC and its touch panel is not working properly. Are there any DEs or distros that doesnt have touch support?

Edit: Thanks to everyone that replied and suggested solutions. For me this worked: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-blacklist-a-module-on-ubuntu-debian-linux

Seems like what you want is to disable the touch screen rather than a DE that specifically doesn’t support it… Often times the touchscreen can be disabled in the BIOS/UEFI. But if that’s not the case see: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/531919

Another option would be to look into calibrating the touchscreen to stop the ghost inputs.

There is no option in BIOS to disable touch input.

The stackexchange solution didnt work. When I tried to set it to unbind, Im getting permission denied even as root.

Touchscreen is physically damaged.

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.
