So, I bought this refurbed Lenovo ThinkPad T460s for 160 €, with the intention of installing #kdelinux on it. That did not succeed, it would not boot the USB stick, which does boot on my Carbon X1, oddly. But a kubuntu stick booted fine, so now I have a laptop with #kubuntu on it.
I had one issue - it would not wake up from sleep, but that was easily fixed by adding a param to the grub commandline.
Kubuntu #plasma and software in general is a bit old compared to my normal arch system, but fine, and the installation is easy - I'd say most people with just a little bit of computer knowledge and/or a brief instruction could do it.

Next, I am going to use this to lend or show to people considering switching to #Linux, I installed some nice applications on on top of what kubuntu provides by default, so that people can see if they can handle their normal tasks on it. I may also add a #Nextcloud account for trying that, and I will suggest to people to try #kdeconnect of course

PS: #kdelinux developers, if you have an idea why I could not install, let me know - same if I can provide any kind of information.
