How often do you upgrade/replace your dev machine?

Technically I’m using a Mac since I have a macbook m2, but I use Asahi Linux on it since I can’t stand Mac OS.

From my experience I can’t say that macs rarely break, at least mine broke (the keyboard broke) in 9 months of usage. Also I do know some friends that had similar problems with their macs, but that is ofc, a small sample, so maybe it is not significant.

For real work I use my desktop which is a Ryzen 2700x with 64gb of ram and a bunch of ssds that I leave there hanging like christmas tree decorations. Not planning on replacing it any time soon. Probably I will just keep it and do small upgrades if some component breaks.
