Their higher-end models seem of nice build quality at least, but that's something I just expect at a certain price point.

Linux isn't even an option at my current job, it's WSL if anything. And that on the development machines only. Office work machines are Win 10 without any privileges, which I'm fine with. Employer pays for the time I take longer for certain things. His choice.

Unfortunately, there aren't that many great European options, so buying somewhat domestic is hard.

Linux isn’t even an option at my current job

If a job requires Windows, I'm not accepting the offer. Simple as. I'm okay w/ macOS provided I have full control, but I'm not using some locked-down Windows image. Screw that.

If I had a different specialisation, I'd probably care. But my job is mostly reading and writing documents, and they installed Miktex on my office machine, so I don't want to complain.

We do have formal security requirements to meet though, and I think in general locking down machines in your network is the correct choice. But it's probably not needed in every job

Yeah, I'm a software developer, and everything I write runs on Linux, so there's no reason to use Windows.
