Yep, started of with the stock OS and distrobox for dev stuff. I had occasional issues with multi monitor setup so ended up just using 1 on its own.

Recently put cachyOS handheld on it instead.

No problems with it so far. For gaming I mainly use it hooked up to either a monitor or TV but handheld works fine too.

Dev wise, I’ve gone down the docker rabbit hole and had no issues so far with it.

Too soon

Took me a minute… was expecting void in the foreground

It’s beautiful, I’ve looked at this for five minutes now. You’ve won at the internet today, gg

Thank you for ruining my day. And a Friday no less…

Was my first thought too

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.

I’m still a bit sceptical over LLMs but I’ve used copilot for line code completion for a few years now.

More recently I’ve started playing about with agents. I’ve been using avante.nvim for a couple of months with Claude and quite like it. The setup was a bit of a faff but it works quite well and has support for the more mainstream agents.

Over the last few days I’ve started trying out augment code which has a neovim plugin. Still on the fence about that one.

I’m no expert when it comes to any of this but this is what I’ve been messing about with. Hope it’s useful!

For sure, and even on my own computers, the amount of times I used one of their Ubuntu isos to fix my broken grub was non zero! 😅

Used to buy these religiously every month about 15 years ago. They used to come with distros on a disc and I had pretty rubbish internet at the time so they were pretty handy for distro hopping.

They also did a really great podcast at that time too!

Glad to see they’re still going!

I know this is formuladank and all but I wouldn’t rule it out at this point…
