I work for a Linux OS vendor and my desktop machine is pure Linux and I've used linux as a daily driver for over 20 years at this point.

in the past I had laptops (thinkpads mostly because the old IBM thinkpads were rock solid) that were linux only machines too. Mostly Ubuntu or Red Hat, but I also used Puppy and DSL and Crunchbang on my little sub notebook sized machines (Ideapad).

My current laptop is a MBP and I run OSX with two Linux distros in Parallels VMs. I'll keep OSX because I do a fair amount of photo and video editing and the tools on OSX are just better in every regard (yes, I've used things like Darktable, GiMP, and others but none of them come close to tools like Capture One or Lightroom or Photoshop or Luminar.

but I'll always have Linux running somewhere. For work it is my daily driver OS and l, as I said, has been for well over 20 years.
