It’s a silly name for sure.

Whatever you pick, first test it by running it from a USB drive first.

I’m experimenting with Pop!_OS on my aging laptop running it on a USB drive. Was happy to see it supports 2-in-1 functionality.

There’s machines that can’t upgrade to Win11. That’s the issue OP is talking about.

I see a lot of wood, metal, and not a lot of dark/cold colors. Maybe think of ways to add colored fabric with warmer tones?
