A Senior Developer working mostly with PHP and JavaScript, with a bit of Python thrown in for good measure, all on Linux. My tooling is simple, it's GitLab and JetBrains where possible.
I had an MSI GS70 stealth for years before going Asus Zenbook. It was great for the most part, but wouldn't always power off. Had some other divers issues too.
I know Lenovo laptops do a pretty good job with Linux, so that's likely my next stop. I'd go Dell, but they top out at 16GB RAM for the Ubuntu XPS devices, and are only available in 13" variants. I have one as my spare for work and it's mostly good, but wants to report errors after every boot.

The never powering off thing happened to me but was some kinda misconfiguration on the OS or distro related, I had FerenOS when it wasn't that Frankenstein and it was solved after clean install of Elementary. If you want to avoid most issues on linux try to find some AMD laptop with a 4800H or better, then upgrade the RAM by your own if can't find any 32Gb model. If it comes with AMD GPU better. Don't know the reason exactly but each time i pick an intel I've some issue and on AMD is more stable 🤷 at least it's my experience with that

Thanks. I'll look at that and see what I can find. Anything to let me work on stuff I want to in my free time is good for me.
I found that which seems a good deal if you want to check it out: amzn.to/30985bI
the link is from amazon spain but sure you'll be able to find the same on UK :)
Hope it helps
