GUI-wise, when you go to install Cachyos it'll ask you to select a Desktop environment. Gnome and KDE both can understand tablet/convertible/2-in-1 devices. I have a Thinkpad Yoga and Arch with Gnome at least is fine in tablet mode. Haven't tried KDE.

Actual driver support may depend on your specific device in terms of driver support. My Lenovo worked perfectly fine after install with nothing special and gets updates through fwupd, and I know that the Microsoft Surface tablets have a special kernel you've gotta install with some Surface specific stuff in it in order for everything to work.

    KDE should have a far superior tablet mode on Wayland compared to Gnome

    disagree. while KDE has a Tablet mode it still depends on the device. Gnome with a few Extensions is far superior as a tablet imo. โ€žTouchUpโ€œ and โ€žGjs OSKโ€œ are needed. With those installed, gnome will feel like a tablet and be easier to navigate than KDE. Especially if you want to switch on the fly between touch navigation and mouse/keyboard

    In my experience (Surface 7 using first the linux-surface kernel and then Nobara), KDE is way behind Gnome in touch support. OSK is way worse, general GUI design is not touch friendly, worse pen support... And that is before extensions like gjs oak for gnome.
