I would love to have a cheap and ultra small laptop to carry with me while I’m on call but I need to go to the supermarket for eg. Wondering why they didn’t try a lightweight distro w/ Xfce.
Pinebook Pro. I use it for this exact purpose. Small, portable, cheap, and relatively durable. I keep it in the truck while I’m on call in case I need to jump in and fix things on the go.
