       @mike @pyre35 I’ve been frustrated with Windows for a long time. I’ve looked into alternatives and tried different Linux distros over the years (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc) but eventually switched to Apple. My MacBook Pro purchased 5 years ago is still going strong. I would love to get back into Linux, but I’m not sure if there are any hardware/software combos with Linux that are as reliable. Are there any Linux versions/laptops that wouldn’t require a ton of maintenance?

       @basilisk @mike @pyre35 thanks for the advice. For hardware, it looks like either the Dell XPS 13 or Lenovo Thinkpad are the best bet. Have you used either of those? Any other options that you think would provide good long term reliability?

       @mike @basilisk @pyre35 I’m at a point where I don’t really need anything fancy. I just want it to work most of the time when I need it. Appreciate the rec

       @kev maybe this is what you’re going through: https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/advice/podcast-776-how-to-shift-out-of-the-midlife-malaise/. It’s definitely what I’m going through

       @stux aww, the dog just wants to be friends. He’s wagging his tail and trying to be submissive. Dogs are pretty dense, though. He can’t read the situation. Our cat always hated our dogs but they kept trying keep everything cool.
