I run Linux on my work machine, but everyone was talking about this problem in our chatroom for all of it. I got some co-worker karma.

If my employer offered anything for Linux use than a 10lb Dell laptop I would consider it. I primarily choose MacBooks because I know what to expect in terms of hardware.

Aren't Dell XPS laptops considered pretty good for Linux?

I use desktops 99% of the time (it's more ergonomic), but I have an old XPS for occasional travel.

XPS Laptops are also expensive so the employer might not offer them as an option.

But they do offer Macbooks, so presumably an XPS is in budget.
