Looking to upgrade from an old Latitude, curious as to what mobile hardware you folks use for writing your open source projects?

So far I love it. I bought it brand new from Lenovo and you could pick from I think 3 or 4 distros. I picked fedora, which it came with 38. When I first booted up it had a bios update which honestly surprised me that they would bother. Then upgraded to 40 through the fedora upgrade path. All painless.

I was fully prepared to make a windows live USB just to flash the bios/firmware.
