New laptop for myself. I've spent years using my phone and work laptops. I have a VM on a cloud provider I use for personal storage, tinkering, etc.
Dell XPS 13 Plus, got it fully loaded but with the least amount of storage available. Immediately upgraded the NVMe to 2T and installed Linux.
Despite making a descent income, I'm weirdly averse to spending on myself. In any case, totally worth it, it's been a month and I use the machine every day.
My friend got an xps 13 but said he would've gone back and gotten a thinkpad t14 instead. Hope you enjoy the laptop though. It seems to have pretty good build quality.
That is a good laptop. Nice that you made the switch the Linux.. Switching to Linux 13 or so years ago is one of the best decisions I have made. It is just so much better than Windows.
I've used Linux off and on for quite awhile, all of my jobs have always included some level of Linux administration.
Somewhat ironically my current role is senior .NET developer. Though I suppose that's a lot more platform agnostic than it used to be =)
