My favorite device is an android phone these days.
With termux, I can get most of my work done right away. This is especially true since I switched from VS Code to yazi+helix in the command line as an IDE.
The rest of what I need works in a proot ubuntu instance[1]
Also, since Android 13, the overall OS is pretty good with floating windows.
Some brands (Samsung, Honor, etc.) have full on desktop experiences now with kb+m. Google is slow rolling this into core android since 2017, though, to protect their Chromebook market.

- eterps 2y agoWhat's the complete setup like? Keyboard etc.?
- VHRanger 2y agoFor termux: install termux from fdroid and pkg install all the stuff you need. There's a couple of gotchas if you try to build stuff directly, but it mostly just works overall. For full Linux with x11 GUI: follow the guide I linked. For the keyboard setup, I just plug keyboard, mouse and monitor on a USB c dongle. I don't use android desktop mode personally. My next device will likely be a foldable phone, with a foldable keyboard and a stand it works as a laptop in a pinch (otherwise dongle for kb/mouse/display)
