In terms of live, installed, ready to go:
2. A main daily driver (Ubuntu 20) and my old desktop machine running Proxmox so I can spin up any test network I want/need for dev work.
4 if you're including laptops (HP Elitebook w/ Ubuntu 20, Macbook air) but they're mostly gathering dust as I've not commuted anywhere in a few years
Also got an old Android tablet which is mostly dedicated to Todoist (mounted above my monitor on an arm) and an iPad for background entertainment/distraction while working. They dual-function as test devices as needed for webdev :)
I used to have the could-probably-get-it-working guts of 4 or 5 laptops and an older desktop following me around but I guess they finally got sold off for parts during my last move
I'd probably have more but I'm renting a relatively small single room compared to my last place. The two desktops alone have meant I've not needed the heating on whenever they're both going.
E: Oh aye there's also a 9-disk NAS knocking about somewhere too (Synology DS918 plus an expander bay). I use that more than my desktop I guess technically. Everything mounts off it somehow or other so I'm counting it :)
Tell you what, Tailscale is the one app that's got me back into home network nerdery. I love hosting internal things on my Proxmox server or NAS that just.. work, even when I'm not at home. No matter where I am in the world, I can mount nas.coio.uk and, aside from a bit of lag in some places, it works just as well as it would locally connected. That's so cool!
