I envy that you get a Linux-basrd laptop for work.
Opening up my W11 one is dread. Once it finally sorts itself out, it's latest thing is just hanging 365 applications for 3 mins for no reason, then resuming. It also decided to stop copying to clipboard yesterday which was resolved by rebooting, which of course took 15 mins due to Windows updates...
It's a decent 2025 laptop, but it's like warming up an old car before driving it through wet cement.
Id love a linux based work laptop. Mine wouldn't let me click on anything on the desktop unless I also did an absurdly long reboot.
