I'm super pleased with my Linux desktop. I'm now full time Linux on the desktop, having run Windows, dual booting Windows/Hackintosh, and then Windows/Linux for quite some time. I still have a Windows partition, but I haven't been in it in half a year at this point. The experience on my desktop hasn't been flawless, but it has been pretty nice on the whole. I can't say the same for my laptop, which has been a 2 year experiment at this point. When I was using it predominantly to do light work in the office, it worked out well, but I find it more and more difficult to use from a non-coding productivity standpoint.

When I do work, I generally remote into my desktop via VSCode anyway at this point (and I really like this workflow tbh), but because I don't daily drive the laptop, there's less time spent to improve the tooling, and the ratio of time spent working to time spent fixing a weird issue is much lower than on my desktop. With some of my work potentially benefiting from the new Apple SoCs, the reversal in direction back to good sane defaults in hardware layout, and the far greater likelihood that my ratio of work to fix ratio would significantly increase, I'm pretty sure that an Apple Silicon laptop is in my near future.
