My 14 inch laptop is great. It's portable, but it requires space. It can't actually be used on a lap easily. I think I want a smaller laptop. My old Aspire One ZG5 (died because of a BIOS issue & I don't know where it is now) would be almost perfect for this. It was about nine inches. If I could find a laptop that fits in my pocket & have it still be large enough to see things on & type on without trouble it would be great.

A larger screen is very nice, but it turns something that's supposed to be portable into what is basically an all in one desktop with less setup time when it has to be moved & an internal UPS.

Like a GPD pocket then? Unfortunately they are very expensive right now I think. Seems very nice to slap Fedora on.

@cadenwolfgang I haven't heard of it.

I'm also trying to move from Fedora to another operating system
I'm trying Chimera Linux now, but so far I dislike the package manager & not much being available for it yet.

I think it has existed for a while now, at least 11th gen Intel years old. Before it had a joystick on top of the keyboard, but they have removed it (Edit: or maybe on a different model?).

Lots of people are talking about CachyOS. Don't know much about it other than maybe you could try it if it sounds interesting.

@cadenwolfgang My issues with Fedora are that it has to defend against LLM stuff so often that it's forced to tank some of the damage & also the recent issues with systemd getting randomly generated code. An init system is not something you want to gamble with. If there was a Fedora fork run by people capable of finding & replacing randomly generated code with something safe & that had a different init system I would just use that.
