I use an ESP32-C3 with Risc-v as my daily driver (for reading air quality sensor data off of a custom circuit) but I don't think that's what OP is getting at.

I've (almost) always had good experiences with Lenovo laptops, especially T-series or X1 Carbon.
Will the future be better tomorrow?
I just got my Starfive Visionfive2 this week, and yeah... not as easy to use a Raspberry Pi just yet.
Just don't expect a smooth user experience yet, its' software is still very much WIP. Google hasn't even finished RISC-V support in Android yet.
I imagine OP had a neckbeard, belt and suspenders and was carrying a copy of Gödel-Escher-Bach.
Your setup is close to my 2015 very-much-non-gaming laptop, so... I'd recommend retro gaming and/or modern 2D games. A few suggestions would be: Baldur's Gate 1-2, Icewind Dale 1, Xenonauts, Battle Brothers, Wildermyth, Shadowrun Returns (and sequels), Into the Breach, Fallout 1-2. If you're into programming games, that hardware should run everything by Zachtronics as well as Human Resource Machine and 7 Billion Humans.
I don't use Endeavor or Arch (btw), but KDE Plasma is amazing. I'd probably be happy with any distro as long as it supported plasma.
Yes, I found a guide for getting Photoshop CS6 running in wine (PlayOnLinux wrapper). A recent update to something broke it for me, but it might still work for others.
Out of curiosity, do you ever rescue laptops from your work and use or resell them?
Libreoffice is essentially full fat Office at this point. If you need any , more than what it offers, you're more likely than not a computer savvy person already. Photoshop is hard to fully replace though. I ran it in wine for a long time, still haven't found a good alternative.
