If you're not interested in games, why the interest in a Valve tablet? SteamOS is probably the most commercially well-supported consumer desktop Linux, but it's still primarily a games storefront. If you only want to do desktop stuff, you're probably better off either on the Chromebook/Android train, or putting a community-supported distro on whatever hardware you've got.

If I buy hardware it needs to support a real linux distro. > putting a community-supported distro on whatever hardware you've got With the Macbook, my only option is Asahi. If things keep going the way they are going, I may well end up there. But it is 13 inches and I don't love the keyboard. I would rather something with an 11 inch screen (for travelling) that can drive a full-size monitor when at home. And use the keyboard I like regardless.
