I was out of country for the past month. I have access to two monitors, and I brought a keyboard, wireless mouse, and a small JBL speaker. It has been a pretty good experience. I have edited documents, images, and created PDF's. I can connect to jobs that require windows with a web browser to Azure Virtual Desktop. I have streamed live events, worked on my home servers, and it is always snappier than a windows machine. With a click I am back in handheld gaming mode playing SNES games, or Elden Ring.

I like how Valve not only pushed Linux gaming, but also introduced some people to desktop Linux. I see many comments of people realizing It's not all that scary and sort of useful after all and it can even show some advantages, like the said snapiness. Being realistic I don't expect the platform to ever go truly mainstream, but enlargement of the niche is very much possible.
