Thanks, yeah, metal seems better, but I imagine a metal chassis would be more expensive, so probably out of my price range... And yeah Linux Mint was what I was gonna do. I've heard a lot of good things about that distro in recent months.

Ooh, nice. That seems like a great initial step for just being in the learning phase. I'm gonna look into this! Thank you! :)
Lol, that's kind of intriguing honestly. Are Python interpreters even available on whatever fork of Linux that SteamDecks use? Haha.
Agreed on the benefits of having a full-size keyboard. Alas, 13" is too big. My primary workspace is limited to 11" for the total laptop width (i.e. screen and bezel).
Oh shit! I didn't even know VSCode was available for Android. Nice! Thank you!
Edit: Er, nevermind. VSCode is indeed available on Android, but for US$12. Ew. Thanks anyway though. :)
IIRC Bill Gates isn't even really involved in the company anymore. Hasn't been for years.

Ooh, that's intriguing. I've never heard of that brand.
and the keyboard layout is different.
How different? Are we talking "different shape of the Enter key" or "full-on head-banging death-metal Dvorak"? Because I like me some QWERTY.
It supports upto 40GB of RAM.
Holy shit that's a lot of RAM.
You make a great point, but the problem is I've looked at a ton of them and they all seem to be too big. I have a very limited primary workspace at only 11 inches and for example the T14 Gen 1 you linked to is 12.95 inches in width.
Thank you for being thorough! I appreciate the advice! :)
Unfortunately, those are both too big, at 12.22"–12.28" for the X390, and 12.11" for the X280. I'm limited to 11". :(
Sure, what do you wanna know elaborations wise? I'm sorry; I thought I had elaborated...
It's cool. Don't worry about it! I appreciate any advice someone can give. :)
