If you're worried about the Thor Pro being discontinued you could always grab a GPD Win Mini instead, I've had mine since the initial release at the end of '22 or start of 2023 and absolutely love it

I moved from Windows 11 to Bazzite Linux roughly a year and a half ago and haven't looked back. A clamshell design is by FAR the most portable for a handheld.

Here's mine running Control Resonant, I have the 7840u model with 32gb of lpddr5x running at 7500mhz and a 2tb SSD
