    I use my Windows work laptop as my personal laptop by booting Ubuntu off an external SSD. It is connected through the laptop’s thunderbolt USB C port, and Ubuntu runs smoothly without any issues as if it were off the internal drive. And not the most elegant solution, but I have Velcro strips on the drive and laptop, so to transform from work computer to personal, I just stick the drive on, plug it in, and boot up Linux! And the best part is that because it’s a completely different drive, there are no personal files/data actually saved on the work computer.
