Don’t want to support Windows, feeling eh about everything else… what’s my next laptop?

I’m not a computer-scientist-engineer-whatever-the-**bleep** first and foremost.
But like most people, I use my computer a lot. For..everything.

I just finished undergrad in biology/poli sci, which I needed my laptop for pretty much always. I hated bringing my relatively large 2019 Lenovo laptop everywhere. Especially when the keyboard crapped out and I have to now carry an external keyboard with me everywhere.

I’m now working in marine science research where I’m working on vessels on & off, as well as taking some TV/movie production jobs as an art & tech PA. Also starting law school in the fall. So I need something reliable, light, and relatively small (although I personally prefer a large to mid-size monitor) with high storage capacity. That is also affordable and not going to cost me rent.

I’m a lifelong personal PC user but have experience using pretty much everything. In light of recent events & personal ethics I’m not ecstatic about supporting Windows anymore. I’m also just a little annoyed with the interface’s general non-evolution. But I’m not sure what else is out there that will fit my needs.

I wish there were a “nothing” computer. I’m leaning towards just grabbing a Mac, maybe because I’ve been influenced by “Mac supremacists” through work, but would appreciate any suggestions. For hardware & OS. I’m sure in the style of Reddit/computer stuff you will all be very mean to me lol but it’s fine, go ahead. Just would like to get some perspective from someone that’s not my boomer part time computer users in my life.
