I've got the opportunity to inherit a GPD Micro PC and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with what it is like to run linux on it?

I'd run Debian or Alpine most likely, and don't plan to do anything but use it for email, light web browsing, IRC, and to write forth/scheme/c on.

My previous personal laptop was a Chromebook that I ran linux on. I loved it until the hardware crapped out on me after 18 months. I like to keep hardware as long as possible. Will this be better? Should I pass?

Carmen Sandiego stands at the edge of the building, the sun setting behind her shoulders. The wind gently picking through her hair.

Across the roof, standing in silhouette, lit only by the setting sun at his face and the neon billboard behind, Tuxedo Mask shouts: “it seems we’re at a stalemate.”

Carmen laughs. She knows where Waldo is.

For anyone interested in noodling with #forth! I've isolated the excellent forth environment of Easy Forth for a bit more breathing room:

You’d assume that Lt. Cmdr. Data used Haskell, but he actually used Forth to accomplish most daily tasks. Lore, however, only ever used a dialect of Brainfuck that compiled to JavaScript...a language long dead, preserved by the Q continuum for no real good reason other than to, one day, totally and completely fuck with Miles O’Brien.
