The only experience worse than Linux on a desktop, is Linux on a laptop

Depends on the laptop. Some are better than others, and you can get surprisingly good performance for e-chatter work with a very cheap second hand laptop.

If you want to 3D game, I take your point.

I can't see raspberry pi users etc going for it though.

Except maybe to play games on 3D mobile devices? :)

Technically my laptop is a mobile device, but it isn't Pi sized and not much cheaper and it's OK to awful sometimes at 3D work. Not enough horses. It is however very easy to replace if stolen. Always a consideration with shiny shiny gear.
