I strongly suggest putting in the time to learn how to install and maintain a linux laptop ... Ubuntu 24.04 is a great engineer platform

It is, provided that the hardware vendor has reasonably decent support for power management, and you're willing to haul around an AC adapter if not. In general, I really like AMD hardware with built-in graphics for this, or alternately, Intel Tiger Lake-U based hardware.

Asahi Linux is shockingly great on Apple Silicon hardware, though.
