If Gnome has issues but Plasma and Mate work fine, then it's likely not firmware related, but rather a process in Gnome that's using a core all the time. So find out what that process is, if it's a common thing on Gnome and if it will finish if given enough time.

There is no maliit for qt6 yet. It's still a work in progress according to the github repo issues.
It could be that your distro ships Plasma 6, but the keyboard is still qt5 based, so they don't talk well to eachother?
I agree. I have also used it for a couple of years.
It states it can't find it in /etc/fstab. So do you have it there? And does it have the correct ID?
(I don't know how zfs pools work, I'm just going of what the mount command said)
Maybe the power settings are not set up correctly in Tablet mode (I don't know if there are seperate settings for normal and tablet mode).
Or as another responded, the button might count as a keyboard and thus is disabled in tablet mode. What happens if you press the power button when the device is awake and in tablet mode?
I disagree with it being underpowered for regular office use and media consumption. If you can get your hands on a 16 GB RAM one, it should be able to handle just about anything other than gaming.
I will say that a second-hand ThinkPad is a great option. They can be real cheap, but you can also get a pretty decent new one for your budget.
You can likely find great T480-T495 that fits your needs really well.
Omitting grub and using systemd-boot might also take a few seconds off.
I know. It's not marked in the wiki as essential and you can have a functional system without it.
The Arch packages does and he is using an Arch based distro (endeavorOS), so it would be the same.
