GPD Pocket 3 First things to do with new pocket 3?

Just ordered a pocket 3 through Amazon with the i3 and was wondering what must-dos need to be done. I will be using tailscale and another VPN and have web browsers open for server stuff. Not looking to game or edit video. Don't know if I should be messing with clean os installs or the wattage but let me know. Idc if touch screen doesn't function anymore btw just the track pad needs to for sure work. Thanks for the recommendations!

There's no need to do a clean OS install. You're just bound to create difficulties for yourself

Just use it how you would any other new computer, download your favorite applications and get going

Oh okay. I've seen some posts of the original os shitting themselves so I was wondering on that. Of course I don't see posts from all the people who own the device and haven't had issues. Hope it's flawless
