I use simply MacBook Air.

Personally, I would say that you need both decent OS and hardware. macOS is a good trade off between both.

Windows may be OK, but it depends on the hardware and support.

Linux may or may not work well with the hardware. If you decided from the start, you might choose a Dell.

I maybe using macOS, but I do install VirtualBox to run PowerBI... nothing is perfect.

I would say the get the latest models, costly but will save a trip to apple or even more money due to the keyboard issues.
