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.

why not a desktop? you get more performance for the price and you don't need to worry as much about nvidia power management, which seems like a pain from what I've seen
Don't have space for it and I'm concern about power consumption
You can get a SFF PC. You can look at the ol' Optiplex machines where you just slap in a graphics card and away you go.
This guy just posted a pretty cool example yesterday.
Honestly I think the power bills would be similar with similar performance hardware, because you have to take into account battery losses with laptops.
that's fair that you don't have the space though
