> I’ve realized that in my current phase of life, everything needs to work seamlessly I have an almost 10 years old MacBook Pro, that I can turn on at any time and I would be able to do modern software development on it easily. I have a similarly aged high end gaming laptop, I turn it on it spends two hours fiddling with software updates, turns on the anti-virus that I never asked for, installs random software that I would never in a million years install, maybe breaks a driver or two on bigger updates and to top it all off, even with WSL2 I can't even get Docker to run things reliably on it. For gaming I find the Steam Deck to be the superior experience.
