I’m talking about the LCD/monitor. Maybe @penguin_knight keeps the LCD and mounts it to the board as well. If not, it’s headless. Mouse and keyboard are not the issue. I always set up raspberry pi headless because the OS allows it. All you have to do is add an ssh file to the /boot dir and wpa_supplicant.conf file in root dir. Other distros typically don’t, they need a monitor to be installed.
I know, that’s why I wrote external peripherals and not external inputs.
I don’t want to sound cocky or be an asshole (we all know how easy it is by just reading a message someone you don’t know wrote), but after 24 years of being in system administration/engineering/architecture I may have sufficient grasp of what I am talking about. 😅
Do you do a headless install like Ubuntu Server Preseed?

Or do you install linux on an SSD from a different machine, then plug it into MDF mounted laptop mobo?

I would guess by plugging external peripherals to the motherboard.
