I am using Plasma Mobile on the original Archlinux and most of the time as a tablet (without keyboard attached). If I use the keyboard, then in some hybrid style, tapping on the screen writing with the keyboard and only occasionally I use the touchpad (although it is very good). Even then I usually don't switch to Plasma Desktop.
If feel it's ok responsive, except for the settings, but they are slow in Plasma Desktop as well.
There are a lot of small niggles but most of them feel like they just need fine tuning in configuration. Also some apps work better with a virtual keyboard than others. And copy and paste between apps is hit and miss.
Overall I feel pleasantly surprised how well the PT2 works as a tablet already and it can only get better from here.
For now for me the tricky bit is to understand the configuration options. In KDE style it's all over the place.
I have also installed Phosh on the same system and can switch to it in the display manager (sddm), but in that case Phosh works so so. I guess it needs a more dedicated configuration. Not Phosh's fault.
