Edge Panels are a samsung only thing, but I use a similar app on my phone.
I use it less as a dock and more as a way to access stuff I want to quickly be able to go in and out of.
For example, the 2fa app I use auto closes when I copy something to the clipboard, so I just swipe into the app, copy it, and I’m back where I was.
Its also great for apps I don’t use frequently enough to want on my home screen, but when I do need them I don’t want to hunt around for them
I agree with pretty much everything they’ve said, though I’ve gotten more use out of the swappable parts. I have a desktop I use for things I need a powerful system for, but being able to swap in the GPU when traveling is great.
When I’m at home I have basically everything on USB C and the empty expansion bay.
When I travel I swap in the GPU and add an HDMI port and some USB a ports.
If you don’t have stuff set up like I do I agree it’s mostly just a reparability / upgradeability thing.

I’d contact valve support if that doesn’t work, they’ve always been great whenever I’ve interacted with them.
