I’m moreso curious if laptop functions have been offloaded to phones. If you have a full gaming desktop, do you see the use case for an additional laptop? or if most people here don’t see the need for the increased processing power of a desktop, do you just use your laptop and a phone?

For myself, I mainly use my desktop, but I have a bunch of quite old laptops for tinkering.

    I have a personal gaming desktop and, at last count, three four laptops. I’m part of an IT department and I have a bad habit. I take junked laptops from the scrap bin home and repair them, then lose interest once they’re working again.

      You can make that habit even worse by installing Arch Linux on them from scratch after repairing them.

        😳 I kinda… did.

        (Okay, Arch from scratch on one. Endeavour on another. Mint on a third.)

          I like how it went from Arch to Mint.

            Tinkering with Arch is fun. Using it, less fun.
