well you were considering buying a windows laptop. just do that and put Linux on it. better and more varied hardware than Chromebooks, a OS with no EOL, no spyware, and if you've been using Chromebook you probably don't need nothing windows specific so it's a win.
I'm not a Linux aficionado. I've been using Windows machines for a long time and I feel confident doing basic things like navigating control panel and updating drivers but I've never used a fully functional Linux OS. I wouldn't know how to do anything and while I might consider trying it on a backup netbook or something I don't want to spend money on something with a learning curve. Years ago I put OS/2 Warp on my machine and it was a nightmare trying to figure out how to do anything. I'm not interested in doing that all over again.
