OK Linux Mint is a no-go. Touchscreen doesn't work properly with Wayland.

@Edent cachy is nice and makes all of the nerdy arch options for you. Whilst still letting you change your filesystem and Desktop Environment
Gonna give Windows 11 a spin first. Mostly because a separate gadget has a firmware update which is packaged as an .exe.
Haven't connected it to the Internet get, but so far Windows is just as I remembered it from a couple of years ago. Unexciting.

Linux Mint Debian Edition is go!
Automatic screen rotation works once booted (grub and LUKS in portrait mode). Touchscreen works as does WiFi. Sound works, as do the function keys.
Haven't tested anything else yet.

This mini laptop literally fits in my jeans' pocket. Just about 😄
Trackpad is a bit crap, but other than that it is a cute and useful device.

@Edent There was a time when I longed for a form factor such as this. I was getting really good use out of my Nokia E71 and then HTC Desire Z. Was always interested in like a GPD Pocket or something, for the physical keyboard.
But now I got my age appropriate presbyopia and, well, if I always have to carry my new glasses to interact with the thing anyway, the size doesn't make as much of a difference any more.
@Edent Ubuntu. Debian was a bad time on it, lots of issues. Reports from other owner-friends are that pretty much everything works out of the box in Kubuntu, Ubuntu needed minor work for the tablet mode.
