This is a neat idea. Would make for a good overview video or blog post if you do end up pursuing it.

The Linux desktop seems to tweak some things in the UI to be friendlier toward users coming from Windows. Not sure if that's a valve thing or not, can't say I'm a distro guru.

It's not super performant for me on a 4k display, docked. But, it should all work with a nice usb-c monitor, keyboard and mouse, and a dock off Amazon.

Guaranteed there will be something funky in the distro that gets in your way at some point though.
