Here's what that looks like, in portrait mode it works like a tablet. Have to do screen rotation via the toggle in notification area or settings as gyro doesn't work for rotation.

I never thought of installing a mobile linux distro on that; interesting choice.

Does it work for gaming/phone things?

Not as well as I would've liked, I ended up going back to Plasma on it. It works wonderfully for touchscreen computing, such as browsing and using desktop apps without a mouse and keyboard, but gaming doesn't work well on it mainly due to the lack of VRR support on Phosh/Phoc.
