I am a owner of HP Pavilion X2 Detachable[1] which does have a detachable keyboard. Gnome is really a blast to work with on touchscreen devices and I like it more and more. The only thing not functioning in Fedora 32 with latest kernel iswebcam. It is very annoying to have to have keyboard attached for every boot/reboot. I'm only using keyboard when I need to do some serios terminal work or so. I understand that it would require significant effort but, I think that having Plymouth OSK would be perfect. Even if it would be numbers only. I'm not familiar with TPM chips, but from what I read here it sounds like there would be no password prompt and anyone would be able to boot the device, no?
