After having my new laptop for a little over a month I thought I would put a little update about how it is going so far.
I have upgraded now to Fedora 37 and this went fine without any issues. Everything else is still working fine and the battery life appears to be going alright as well.
I have been playing around with using a new window manager called Sway. I really like being able to have more control over the look and feel of the desktop and to be able to customise everything to be the way that works best for me. There is a bit of a learning curve to getting everthing set up and working but I feel that it is well worth putting in the effort. I am still running KDE plasma as well and jump between the two options.
I am also considering switching to a different distro soon and am leaning towards the option of an Arch based distro. I will probably look at doing this in the next month or so.
