Im pretty sure hitting the power button locks and turns off the screen on mine(and eventually the tablet goes to sleep). I actually dropped my tablet yesterday :( so I cant say for sure until i replace the screen, but I believe you can change that behaviour in the power settings?

Yes plasma mobile seems more phone focused, but the actual apps scale up just fine for a tablet. If I had to compare the interface Id say its arround android 5 or 6 in terms of features and usability. No splitscreen or picture in picture but you get windows if you switch into docked mode via the control center. The best thing for me is the performance. I use it on an old surface go (the first one) and its honestly very usable, gnome in comparison is just a tiny bit too heavy to have a fluid experience. the second best feature is the waydroid integration.
you should try plasma mobile. despite gnome being amazing on touchscreen devices, as you mentioned, the osk sucks. you can improve the interface with an extension called “touchup” iirc, but the keyboard will remain unchanged. plasma mobile comes with gestures and a usable osk right out of the box. there is a plasma mobile spin for fedora and i believe postmarket os also has it as a package.

Recently an update broke something in flatpak and in consequence freecad would refuse to load completly. There was no way for me to know what actually happened and all the time i thought freecad was at fault.
The infamous gma500 driversupport condeming so many netbooks to become ewaste instead of having a second life with linux.
so yeah i fixed the screen and yes the power button turns off the screen and locks it on plasma mobile.
