With all the issues and breakages that they had over the years I wouldn't feel good suggesting it. But there are other arch-based distros that you can try out to get an idea. I'm a bit out of the loop, since I moved to nixos 5 years ago.

Also don't fall into the purist distro way of thinking. The PC is yours, you make your own experience.

Try it on something that you're not relying on for your daily activities. It takes some time to learn and you'll make mistakes. But it's a great exercise for learning and as a hobby.

A side note. Tablets are good if you like to handwrite or take notes on slides or documents. If that's your plan, some software like xournal++ is probably the best, instead of LibreOffice. Otherwise, if you plan to still mostly if not only write via keyboard, consider sticking to a normal laptop. They are often cheaper and you'll write way faster than you can with a tablet.
