Using a decommissioned work laptop to install @EndeavourOS to see what a Linux foldable laptop would be like. I like the idea of it replacing my tablet, which is a Huawei and is now about 4 (5?) years without update.
If it is a good replacement, I can look at finding a cheapish foldable laptop (this work one is a Dell 5290 2 in 1) online and finally retire the excellent but now flawed Huawei.

Only took about an hour to install @EndeavourOS (it's an old computer) and I must say, @kde Plasma 6 looks awesome! Going to try using the device as an e-reader tonight and see how I get on.
Will most likely reformat my laptop to KDE rather than Gnome when I get my desk set up.

Picture of the new trial laptop/tablet running @EndeavourOS on @kde. Thing of beauty.

@DodoTheDev @EndeavourOS @kde My current laptop is a hand-me-down Samsung R780 from 2011 which used to be running Windows 7.
I've upgraded its battery and changed its HDD to an SSD (it's so easy with these old models!) but kept the 4GB RAM, and I can use it as a daily driver that I effectively got for free. EndeavourOS and Plasma 6, like yours!
Linux makes hardware sustainability and control of one's own PC so much easier!
