My daily driver is an Acer Chromebook I bought used in 2018. Web and SSH are 80% of what I do, and it runs Debian in Crostini for the other 20%.

Six years later it's still fast, still secure, updates guaranteed through 2028.

Acer continues to make a few in this class with 16gb RAM and 256gb to 512gb SSD. When this eventually dies I'll get whatever similar they're selling then.

It's ridiculously cheap, even cheaper per month or year of usage. That's nice but it's not about cost for me. I'd pay 200% of the equivalent Windows or Mac or Framework machine just for the reliability, security, convenience, speed and peace of mind.
