So, I bought this  USB-C Ultra wide 10" touchscreen monitor (micro usb
ports, usb3, usb-c and hdmi inputs, etc... easily found anywhere)

It works remarkably well.  I was excited to try with the Alienware
using only USB-C port, works perfectly.  Same wiith surface pro 7.

On to the RPi4 - perfectly.  Tried a few Android Audio distros - not
so good experience...clearly wrong aspect ratio.

Inlaw has an Asus laptop with the touchscreen LCD monitor trackpad
thing...absolutely impossible to find some alternative software.  What
is the genre of software this would be called?  Like the touch screen
strip on a Mac?  Yeah, I can drag a bunch or icons over onto it and
turn on single click sis white windows.  Thought of Rainmeter or even
leaving Outlook on one side, Teams on the other.

It looks fitting below the Dell ultrawide and I would love to make it
a bit more useful.

I'm thinking maybe RPi4 set to Kiosk mode and point to a HomeAssistant
from Docker or something?  I haven't started using it yet.  It could
be a nice interface for lighting/heating/homesecurity maybe, or
something to show notifications from ...  this is just a toy and I
could probably find a more useful waste of time?
