Thinkpad X1 Gen 3 2 in 1 Laptop—Which distro to use?
Figured this might fit here as well.
I have a Thinkpad X1 Gen 3 with 8gb of RAM (it's basically Lenovo's version of a Surface Pro—detachable keyboard/tablet mode, etc) and 256gb ssd that I've been using as my daily driver and Windows has been getting real long in the tooth. What I care about in a shellnut:
Desktop environment is touchscreen friendly w/ virtual keyboard easy to setup or is basically default
Idle RAM usage is low (only got 8gb and cannot expand, gotta make the most of it)
I've looked up that anything with KDE Plasma is good with touchscreens, but I've read it's heavier than most. If it's my only choice, how can I easily debloat it or prolong my battery life easily with stopping extraneous background software running or even something like ThrottleStop on Windows?
I don't mind using the terminal but I won't lie... It kinda goes over my head on that stuff but I am willing to figure stuff out.
