From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Curious, how is this workflow working for you. I basically did the same thing, at this point the only real blockers are the screensizens is too small and I don't like carrying separate keyboard and mice from my case.

I only use the setup when I'm mobile (like on vacation somewhere) , and everything fits in a backpack. It's not too annoying, and it's nice to work on some code while I'm away somewhere and the next minute launch a game to unwind. I'm not going to be sitting there staring at a tiny screen and working for hours though, you're right about the screen size being something to get used to.
