I dunno if you firmly believe this or really just haven't kept up with this, but you basically just install linux on a laptop and it works (including graphics), and thats 99% of the time.
I know you mean 99% just as ‘most of the time’, but 99% means every 100th work day it’s not working, or about twice a year.
I think reliably is really important for work tools. Depends what you do of course.
No i mean like 1 out of 100 linux installs across different laptop models will require a tweak or so, and thats usually for like ACPI specific stuff for like function buttons. The core OS features work flawlessly for work.
Furthermore, Win 11 gets a very bad wrap unfairly these days. At home on my desktop, I use Win 11 Pro with WSL2 and it works amazingly well for anything, including ML training. Just run this https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat.
