Raspberry Pi 400

Not sure if this belongs here or in the Linux section!

Has anyone on here bought a Raspberry Pi 400?
I thought I'd ask on the PCS forums as I'll probably get a more balanced answer on here compared to the Pi boards!

I'm toying with the idea of getting one as a 2nd computer, mostly for retro gaming. I'm just curious if anyone knows how easy they are to setup if you're not familiar with Linux.

I know the pack comes with an SD Card that has Raspbian OS and a load of apps already on it, but what intrigues me is being able to boot from other SD cards that can be setup for different things, A good example is that there's a SD image you can download that once you've supplied Kickstart Roms and Workbench disk images boots straight into a really cool customised Amiga Workbench with a virtual hard drive full of so much software it'd be years before you get bored, and performance better than a stock A1200!

It's just the idea of being able to take it round to a mates house, or just plug it into the TV in the lounge.
For just over £90 + delivery it might make a nice stocking filler to my new PCS rig!

Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, as I understand it there are loads of preconfigured purpose designed OS’s that you just flash to a card and boot from. There’s already retropi for gaming:
