Lenvo t450s laptop running Linux and a home built desktop running Linux as well. The desktop is for work work and the laptop for personal projects. I mostly use tmux / vim so the experience is about the same.

I avoid windows at all cost.

A self assembled desktop for full time development / video creation / casual gaming.

It's an i5 3.2ghz, 16gb of RAM machine with an SSD and it runs just as well as it did 3+ years ago when I put it together.

All of the parts are on https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/the-tools-i-use#computer-desk...

Chrome OS, 4 GB RAM, 16 GB HD, with Linux and Terminal using HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP.

For work, I use Windows 10, but at home... in the past, my primary computer had been a Mac OS, but in 2013, I switched to a Chrome OS and never looked back.

I love the fast loading times. I love the dual Linux boot. I love that I don't have to deal with malware or viruses or even if I click suspicious links.. it doesn't do anything. I bought a few versions of them, but my Chromebook is no longer manufactured.. it is one of those that accept T-Mobile SIMM so I can be anywhere and always have Internet.

It is definitely not for everyone, but it is just a part of life for me and my code.

Custom built rig with Windows 10's Long Filename Support enabled (32k characters supported) so I don't have to dual boot.

Keep in mind that I usually only write in higher level languages. If I have a C/C++ project, I'll probably end up installing a dual boot config.
