Do you use both a personal desktop and laptop? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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.

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.
