From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't really have a need to use a laptop at all, however it's getting janky on my main machine when I want to try something new and break a ton of stuff, then I'm up until 4am fixing it using w3m from a terminal before work the next day.
It's more of a sandbox.
Honestly, I don't care too much about the underlying distro at this point. I switched from Gnome to bspwm last night with polybar and it's like a whole new world that satisfies the itch I haven't felt back since the early Enlightenment days.
@BaconIsAVeg I usually just use a virtual machine to try out new stuff before committing to it. Or you could try Vanilla OS if you want to have a bunch of stuff from other distros.
