I use mine as my main desktop pc. I’ve put cachyOS on it (handheld edition).

It depends on what software you need to run though. I’m a programmer so Linux for me is great but it might not support all the software you currently use.

I still have my old laptop, again running cachyOS, for sitting on the couch or going portable. I have tried using the deck on its own sitting in a dock with a Bluetooth mouse and KB. It works fine but the screen is very small so I prefer the laptop.

You could maybe try dual booting your laptop with a beginner friendly distro like Ubuntu, fedora, or bazzite (if you want gaming) to dip your toe in the water before fully diving in.

Based on past experience, fairly truthful.

Laundry, drinking, and gaming. In that order with a side of the Monday scaries that fully kick in on a Sunday afternoon.
