IMO an AIO approach always requires a rotten compromise. Not only
related to the chosen Linux distro, but also to the chosen hardware.

Perhaps you should use two computers, too. One for networking and
another for media production.
We usually use a dishwasher and a washing machine and not just one of
those machines to wash dishware and clothes. We can not have a Ferrari
and a family car in one car.
For web browsing and email I'm almost entirely using a Linux desktop PC.
For music production I'm almost exclusively using a tablet PC.
For my taste it's more or less impossible to do both on one machine or
to do it vice versa. Without doubts, other people have different needs.
