I use both Mac(Work) and Thinkpads(Personal) laptops. Thinkpads (T470 and T470p are what i use) are really good wrt linux driver support. I personally use Fedora + Sway as my daily driver. It has excellent driver support(didn't get the nvidia ones though). These laptops have about 32G of ram. Plenty to run kvm vm's for all sorts of dev stuff.
Thinkpads specially the T series comes with TLP [1] support. So, the battery life is very good. Apart from that, the keyboard is pretty comfortable, display resolutions are Full HD+. I cannot recommend it enough.

- organsnyder 8y agoI thought I was the only person that had a work-issued Mac, but opted for a ThinkPad for personal use. Just bought a T480, and Linux support has been flawless. I installed Debian stable using the non-free installation option: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/ https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-in...
