I don't want to deal with maintaining a pure Linux laptop, and I don't want to be limited by OSX/Windows (for different reasons). Chromebook, by far, is the easiest to get good amount of linux for development without much issues ... with some limitations. It also works with docker/podman for the cases I care, so was simply looking for upgrade of my great (and still used to this day) Chromebook Eve (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) - I really only wish it was bit faster, bit more memory, and I can still live really with 512GB SSD if I have to. Maybe Vulkan support through Linux (only HW accelerated OpenGL GLES works right now for me)

Fedora Atomic?

You'll need to check for compatibility, but ChromeOS Flex should work on many laptops that would otherwise come with Windows. It runs terribly inside a VM, though, so it's hard to try out before installing, but if you have a leftover SSD laying around you could try swapping the storage and installing it on whatever laptop you use now.
