A side note. Tablets are good if you like to handwrite or take notes on slides or documents. If that's your plan, some software like xournal++ is probably the best, instead of LibreOffice. Otherwise, if you plan to still mostly if not only write via keyboard, consider sticking to a normal laptop. They are often cheaper and you'll write way faster than you can with a tablet.

Try it on something that you're not relying on for your daily activities. It takes some time to learn and you'll make mistakes. But it's a great exercise for learning and as a hobby.

With all the issues and breakages that they had over the years I wouldn't feel good suggesting it. But there are other arch-based distros that you can try out to get an idea. I'm a bit out of the loop, since I moved to nixos 5 years ago.

Also don't fall into the purist distro way of thinking. The PC is yours, you make your own experience.
