I ran FreeBSD on all my personal laptops from 2015-2018 and I didn't notice any difference in speeds on Chromium between personal and work laptops. All my personal laptops are Windows now (partially for some low-key gaming and partially ease of use). I thought I'd like using Hyper-V but it's a pain in the ass to configure static ips. So I do all my development in a Fedora VM on Linode... In writing this up I realize there's not really great reason to be using Windows after all. More and more important software is available in the browser (i.e. Figma finally made Sketch/macOS less of an issue, Google Docs is Google Docs). Maybe I'll switch back to FreeBSD.

I was using Firefox at the time, but it was noticeably slower than on linux or windows. > In writing this up I realize there's not really great reason to be using Windows after all.

I'm also surprised by how "agnostic" you can be these days due to the ubiquity of web-apps. A chromebook is a legitimately usable thing for the majority of people it feels like.
