"It won't get them into the carpool lane, but millions of workers are no longer alone when commuting between home and office: They have their laptops with them. Hybrid work-spending one or more days of the work week at home-has grown from a pandemic perk to a way to boost work/life balance while meeting that "your presence is requested" memo from your boss."
"The four dominant operating systems or software platforms are arguably one biggie (Microsoft Windows) that's widely used by most businesses, alongside three others that are used as an adjunct or an alternative, depending on the business type. However, each alternative has carved out a highly respectable niche, such as macOS for creative apps and ChromeOS for web-based workflows and Android integration."
Hybrid work has shifted many employees to carrying laptops between home and office to support flexible schedules while maintaining connectivity and data security. Employers often assign systems and enforce rules such as restrictions on installing software and specific login procedures. In other cases, workers choose from many notebooks and configurations, balancing portability, battery life, performance, and security. Four main operating platforms dominate: Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS, with Windows widely used by businesses and others serving niche workflows. macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS can run many Windows applications via virtualization or streaming solutions like Parallels Desktop and Cameyo.
