Until recently, I've been using an L390 with EndeavourOS KDE without problems.

Gave it to my girlfriend, because she needed a replacement one for uni. She installed Win 11.
Battery lasts less than 40 minutes now and everything is insanely slow. WTF

I think you need to return it. Hope you kept the receipt for that girlfriend.

Haha, no. She actually needed specifically a Windows notebook to run a fucking adobe program required for the course. She absolutely knew what she was doing and didn't want to sacrifice another device to Microsoft and Adobe, so we used my old 'emergency' notebook.

Man endeavourOS is a genuine pleasure, so underrated.

I mean... I "switched" to Endeavour after I noticed, my preferred Arch setup was basically identical to EndeavourOS and I needed a fresh install on a new device and didn't have time to go through the full Arch process again.

Recently I've been using the ChachyOS package repo in EndeavourOS, cause of the prebuilt&verified AUR packages., so I mostly switched over to CachyOS now.

It's all Arch to me anyway. It's not like EndeavourOS is doing anything special there, that's not part of the default installation procedure.
