I'm running endeavour os on a Lenovo duet 3. It's fully functional including the gyroscope, which is super damn amazing. Windows basically wouldn't run, but I feel like a super user when in using endeavor on it. It's so good.

I actually wanted to see how Graphene works so I was going to install it on my old pixel 3a, but it's no longer maintained. You know where I can get the last release images for the 3a?
I'll only mention it because I haven't seen it yet, I just installed endeavor os and it's been pretty Great
I have no paper credentials, but I was a licensed educator, so at least it shows I can get credentials if I worked at it.
I started at a local community college party time, then transferred to my current role. Both bosses are the type like, "I can teach anyone IT, but it's hard to teach soft skills." Turns out they can't really teach IT either and I'm left to getting knowledge from my team and outside sources.
I am taking some azure fundamentals courses right now though, so I'm going that legit certs will make me more hireable
To speak to your points, I started with about 1 year ago in a new career in IT. We initially were coming in one day a week and this has moved to two days.
First, when we moved to two days, I have it about 6 weeks, then started crunching numbers. By the sole metric of closing tickets... My team as a whole is more productive in the office. I didn't break down exactly who was more of less productive, but I have my ideas. I'm willing to bet that I work better at home, but it's a moot point as the team is better on site.
As far as learning new skills, even at one day a week, I've caught up to the rest of my team and have surpassed them technically. Again, it's IT and I've always had a strong interest, whereas I see some of the team probably view it as "just work" I'm actually enjoying the work. Again, it's a second career so maybe maturity is in play here too, but even the younger guys who were hired after me are growing very quickly.
You're absolutely right about networking. I felt so isolated when I started. It wasn't until I learned a few people a few steps above where I was that I learned who is a good resource, and who I can trust. Once I got my head around that, I think people actually see the work in doing and redirect me for it. If I were 100% wfh I don't think I would be having as good a time.
Just my experience
Dude, this 100%. The touch screen was janky on Windows, and non existent in all Linux distros I tried. Endeavor worked perfectly without any set up. I couldn't believe it.
Honestly, I installed it on my windows PC recently, and I found it really clunky. And it sounds like there's no dark mode?
I do IT for a living, and for as big of a bitch Office is, it does work pretty damn good... When it's working. I felt like I went back in time a decade when I was working with Calc.
I'm not trying to fight, but I'm genuinely curious, do you only use Writer? Have you worked with Word lately to compare how they've changed? Thanks
Holy shit, I installed it on my Lenovo tablet laptop, and everything works out the box... Even the gyroscope! I couldn't believe it. It's the first arch based I've tried and I think I'm hooked.
To note, I think I tried like 8 other distros before finding endeavor.
Hey, you know the keyboard shortcut for endeavor that does the same thing as the Win+X for Windows? That's always how I shut down our restart my windows PC. I installed endeavor on my Lenovo duet 3 that came preinstalled with win 11 and that is one of the few things I'm missing. Snip with shift+win+s, and the clipboard history would be the others.
I'm debating if I want to dual boot endeavor on my main PC, but I'm not sure about it because my nvme is pretty small. I also networked my kids computer and my garage computer for file shares and I'm not quite sure how well using those windows PCs to get files off a Linux system would work. Thoughts?
