From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A portable keyboard and a Steamdeck are a better choice.
This way I can play Halo while deploying or when the Sales Dude complains about the website.
Steam Deck is a really under appreciated Linux machine in my opinion.
It's an amazing device. Playing games, then watching movies from my home server on the plane when I travel, then plugging in a keyboard mouse and monitor and using it as my sole work machine at the remote office.
The desktop environment is solid, everything is there that I need.
ALSO: International travel, it basically gets ignored as anything more than a game machine.
oh I didn't even consider the last bit
