What are the options? Linux is meh on desktop. I love Linux and FreeBSD for servers but for desktop duty I still find Windows to be vastly superior.
I am the second one.
Battle scars are customizations.
One isn't a tech enthusiast, but a tech idiot.
Yeah, who hooks a portable generator up to their laptop without using a surge protector??
You're just gatekeeping.
ThinkPad with a generator? Nothing wrong with that
maybe add LoRa, get a ham license and add some packet radio or digital modes and you have a neat disaster setup.
MacBook that you don't want to scuff? Well, I'm not that precious with my gear, but you do you. Many Mac laptops last a very long time, and the performance of modern Apple silicon is really, really impressive
and you have UNIX out of the box. Plenty for a tech enthusiast to like.
