Or do you keep a few Windows/Mac PCs lying around?

You know, just in case you need to run an app/game that only works perfectly on Windows/Mac and WINE/Proton wouldn’t run it?

Been thinking of Linuxifying my Laptop eversince I enjoyed Linux after defecting to it (from Windows) in my main PC (a Desktop).

    I always imagined Laptops to not have enough physical space to be able to hold more than one internal storage devices.

    M.2 drives are tiny. You can easily fit 8 in the space of a full-sized SATA SSD if you stack them. Most new laptops use M.2 drives. Also, many modern laptops use eMMC, which is about the size of an SD card, so you can have a lot of those.

    except you can’t just build a Laptop with the parts you want. You have to either buy an already-built laptop with the parts you want; or get someone/a company to build and sell it to you (so literally just the first option in the end).

    Yes, but there’s no actual reason for this to be true. It’s just always been like that. Laptops can be modular at the expense of a few millimeters of thickness and extra weight, but I’d say it’s worth it. Framework laptop demonstrates this pretty well.

    And I feel like swapping parts in a Laptop could get risky

    No more risky than in a desktop. They are literally the same parts, just smaller.
