I think I need to narrow some things down;

My current Windows PC isn’t what I’m looking for; it’s a big and powerful gaming laptop from a few years back. I’m looking for something light and portable, but with a full keyboard for coding.

Pricewise I’m looking for something around $350; if this is unreasonable let me know.

As I understand it, Steam Deck uses KDE, so I’d like to stick with that for now.

This is probably the most helpful advice I think I’ve gotten so far. Thank you, I’ll look into these options.

I should add that I’ve been interested in getting a small, portable notebook for coding separate of this, and making it Linux seemed a good idea at the same time.

Would really prefer they did something new/different with the IP than rehash the same old stuff.

What about the colossal squid? Could they have been conflated?

So Last Blood?

What does “tubular” mean in this context? I’ve only ever heard it as a positive adjective in Surfer slang.
