Reliable laptop for heavy web development on Linux

My company is looking for reliable laptop model to buy for the employees. In the past we've tried several, mostly Dell XPS 13 and 15. The computers have been decent, but there usually have been issues, such as failing hardware (batteries expanding, keyboards and power supplies failing, needing to install drivers for WiFi manually, etc).

In theory, these computers would have been perfect. In practice, not so much. That is why I'm asking for suggestions based on personal experience rather what the sales sheet says.

Since we are working with Magento and Docker (among other things), 16GB RAM and 512GB storage would be minimum. Also, no real budget limitations, but obviously $10k per laptop might be too much :D

Thanks for the help

Linux/Chromebook Question

So I recently got a Chromebook for programming and found that the compilers don't allow for building JFrames in Java. I tried using the Linux (Beta) that is on the system and get Eclipse installed and it fails to load the install button on the install window. So I am thinking of something else, and I might be completely idiotic for even thinking that this may work. Is it possible to install Linux onto a thumb drive, and boot off that with the Chromebook? If it is, is it something I would have to do while using the Chromebook, or could I use a desktop to create it, and then use it with the Chromebook?

TIL you can set the brightness of external monitors with ddcutil

[See here.](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Backlight#External_monitors)

I've always been a bit annoyed about having to navigate through the clumsy monitor buttons. Being able to do that with a keybind is a great advantage.

Kitty Terminal Theme Changer

I just released a tool that some people might find helpful. It provides a simple CLI interface for changing the Theme used by your Kitty Terminal as well as toggling between a light and a dark theme if you wish.

It works nicely with the collection of Kitty Themes put together by [/u/dexpota](https://www.reddit.com/u/dexpota/) a while back: [https://github.com/dexpota/kitty-themes](https://github.com/dexpota/kitty-themes)

Merry New Years and Happy Holidays.
