Probably the former. My current computing situation is that I have 2 Debian
boxes: one at work and one at home. (FU to those who called me a troll/MS
aficiado) I can work on either and then rsync them through ssh. I don't see
much of a logical reason for me to get a laptop, but a blind consumer and
technophile in me wants an expensive toy. I can see how some people NEED a
laptop with MS Office, etc., but I suspected that those laptop users with
Linuces on them are mostly just following their technophilic desires.
That's why I was curious as to what their motivation was. I hope my answer
satisfies you.
Alec
