Right? My Linux instance has been the same for 8 years. Same workflows, same no-nonsense. Every time I open the start bar on my work computer and it lags for 5 second to load some bull shit I don't need I get so mad /rant
Sorry, but I just had to get that off my chest. What's your setup like?
I had been running Pop OS on my aging laptop, which finally died a week before my Deck arrived last year. The Deck completely removed any thought of replacing it lol.
So now I just run a Deck, with the ability to dock to my projector or work monitor if I wish, with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard that I can move where ever when I dock to one of those points.
I also have a super-lightweight 13" travel tablet-type monitor left over from an old set up, and I'm working on getting everything together that I need to be able to quickly mount it on top of my Deck when I'm playing handheld, for a screen upgrade for my 40s eyes. I don't mind the extra power, as I'm normally plugged in when playing.
