  • Hmm, I guess I could keep it on a table in the corner to use it as a terminal to control music streaming from my server, so I don’t need to turn on my main PC (or let guests use my main PC) for that.

    Having a spare laptop I can use on the sofa to experiment and learn stuff without worrying about messing up anything important might be useful too. I might be able to do that just as easily by using my new laptop as a terminal to SSH or VNC into my RPi or M700, and if I’m using docker there may be little risk of messing up anything important, but there’s always a bit of a risk, and if I mess up badly on a spare laptop I can just quit until I feel like reinstalling it and starting again, whereas if I mess up on my RPi or M700 and break something important I’d need to fix it immediately, when I might not have the time or energy to do that.
