Ask HN: What laptop do you use?

I've been a proud macbook user for the last 10 years, but I've been using the latest touchbar model for the last 5 months and I'm starting to lose my mind with it. I have 200 dollars worth of dongles, and yet I constantly find myself without the one I need on hand (usually a usb-a to usb-c). Its frustrating as hell . The lack of SD card slot is nothing short of infuriating as well. And.. on top of that OSX on this is a load of garbage and crashes nearly every time I undock from my external monitor.

For the first time in 10 years I'm considering trading in my shiny aluminum slate and going back to using a linux/windows machine as my daily driver (or maybe just buying a used 2015 model).

What are you using and are you happy with it? What are your recommendations for a good linux daily driver machine with good build quality? Is there anything out there on par with a macbook?
