After years of Linux and Mac, I was issued a Win 10 machine at work. I don’t know how anybody voluntarily uses that. It’s like instead of fixing bugs over the last 30 years, they just keep adding new ones. And also make the whole experience more bloated, more confusing, more slow and still kinda ugly.
Based on the requirements from my employer, I may be able to spec out a high-end Chromebook instead of a Windows machine for my next upgrade. That is assuming I can weasel out of the requirements to maintain a virtualization environment, which I never use anymore. Of course, that also depends on near-future hardware availability and Google not killing their own high-end Chromebook lines.
I'd be tempted to put Linux on a Chromebook (I don't trust Google...), but Chromebook vendors often sell a windows version of the same laptop, but with a different (standard) BIOS.
I bought one of those once (an Acer Cloud Book), and it was great. Not high end though.
