   Rolling my own graphical desktop experience on a laptop was sufficiently much work that I wound up giving up and using a customized Cinnamon setup (as the most attractive and least offensive option). But a text mode or simple graphical mode laptop usage is certainly possible.

   (You will probably get quite familiar with at least nmcli/nmtui as you keep roaming around networks, setting up VPNs, and so on.)

     As someone who sits in my own little X desktop world of a peculiar fvwm based configuration (with various pains ensuing from this), I applaud doing the kind of 'go your own minimalist way' that is the thread at https://mastodon.social/@mhoye/113722479490964091

     (Having used Unix through serial terminals or modems+emulators thereof back in the days, I am not personally interested in going back to a single text console/window experience, but it is certainly an option for simplicity.)
