Discussion on: Why I switched to Linux full time

My personal laptop is Ubuntu, my work laptop is Windows, but I spend a solid 80% of the time in a Ubuntu VM for development, and the remainder of the time is usually in Chrome on GitLab or emails. I really struggle to use Windows having spent so long within Linux - hardly any of it makes sense.

I just wish more devices were available with Linux installed by default. Or at least with a solid spec. The best I can usually find at any sort of sensible price only have 16GB RAM, and tend to be 13.3" screens. I'd love a 15.6" lightweight Linux laptop with 32GB RAM. It's the only reason I give serious consideration to joining the dark side next time (and going MacBook Pro)
