My working laptop runs Linux Mint and Win 10 on separate SSDs. 95% of the network engineering I do happens in the Linux environment. Bombproof.

I'm just a simple laptop user. I'm always amazed at people who can handle the various computer systems. My oldest son is the tech genius in the family, but since he's been using PC's with Linux at home, and Windows on his work computer, I've learned to trouble-shoot any questions I might have with my Mac, because he doesn't know anything about them anymore. Thankfully, there have been very few problems on my Macs in all the years I've owned them.

The iMac I bought the end of 2010 still works, and I use it from time-to-time, but I mostly use my MacBook Pro which I bought about a year ago. My old MacBook Pro finally crapped the bed after 10 years, but at least the hard drive was salvageable.

In his spare time, my oldest son creates Fallout 4 mods, which he uploads to a website for people to download and use in the game. He has his own YouTube Channel that he uploads game videos to (Red Rocket TV). He also live streams on Twitch a few nights a week. He's 54, never took a computer class in his life, and taught himself everything he knows. He certainly didn't his brains from me.
