Until yesterday I was using a Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1 running Ubuntu 22.04. It was an awful combination (microphone didn't work, nubbin stopped working, touchpad had to be replaced, keyboard had dodgy keys, battery life was bad, Chrome wouldn't start unless you added some mystery command-line options, etc, etc, etc.)

Yesterday I got a new ASUS Zenbook running Windows 11 (and I added Ubuntu in WSL2). So far so good, it seems like I can do my coding stuff on the linux subsystem but then have desktop apps and peripherals on the windows side that just work. This is the first time I've had my personal computer be a Windows machine in like 20 years, so we'll see how it goes.
