My current hardware setup is a 2022 desktop from Linux Now in Melbourne.
Here's the obligatory Larry cowsay:

You can and should also run Gentoo on your phone. Combine your phone with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and you have a full-on portable workstation. Your desktop will be much more powerful than your laptop, at half the price.
Here are the hardware specs.
- AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU
- AMD B650 Mainboard
- 4GB NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650. Yes, proprietary blob drivers are in use.
- 32GB DDR5 4800Mhz (2x16GB) RAM
- 1TB WD Blue SN570 M.2 SSD
- 23.6in 1920x1080 16:9 LCD Monitor
- Filco Majestouch-2, Tenkeyless keyboard
Software-wise, it is running Gentoo Linux with Ratpoison. Backup server is hosted by rsync.net.
