Personal desktop, work laptop, personal phone and work phone.
I am on the fence about getting a laptop as well, it is just sutch a fantastic tool.
On my future laptop, if I get one, I will run Linux as it extends the functionallity of a laptop massively.
I would mostly use it for managing photos, media consumption, SDR listening, network analysis and light gaming.
At the moment I an quite happy with my personal desktop computer running Windows 10, but with the insane crap M$ is pulling with Windows 11, I even disabled the TPM in my computer to avoid W11 from installing automatically.
I do however work in IT with Windows 11, and I enjoy my job, so that won't change.
Curious and trying to learn:
How does Linux extend the functionality of a laptop?
All software extends the capabillities of hardware.
Linux has more tools that I would value in my personal laptop as compared to Windows.
Linux gives me more access to networking diagnostics which are the primary IT tools I want on my laptop
