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.
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.
