• My on-the-move essentials

  I too have always been interested in such devices, and am also now in the Linux world. (My default distro is Manjaro with xfce). I'm currently considering an Astro Slide Or a Galago Pro, but availability of both devices is spotty. Everything you've said suggests that something like the Galago would serve me better.

• traveling dev looking for the next laptop

  System76 seems to be pretty popular for Linux based laptops. I don't know off the top of my head if they check all the boxes, but probably a few at least. For example: Https://system76.com/laptops/galago. Source: over 1 year ago

• Any security concerns from cheaper MiniPC brands on Amazon? Mele Quieter, Beelink, Olivislite, etc.?

  The fix is open-source firmware, like Coreboot or LinuxBoot. Incumbent PC-compatible vendors aren't too interested, but there's more than enough room at the table for offshore and onshore vendors to use open firmware as a feature. Google, Purism, and System76 are some of the vendors doing this. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What is the best daily driver linux laptop?
