I’ve used Linux off and on for quite awhile, all of my jobs have always included some level of Linux administration.
Somewhat ironically my current role is senior .NET developer. Though I suppose that’s a lot more platform agnostic than it used to be =)
New laptop for myself. I’ve spent years using my phone and work laptops. I have a VM on a cloud provider I use for personal storage, tinkering, etc.
