ARM laptop and machines are here. Windows on a RaspberryPI is going to make the ARM processor more appealing to the dev market and once more people buy super cheap ARM processors ARM will show up in servers. People will dev for ARM and want ARM servers. Netflix uses pfsense wich is BSD and it runs like a champ on ARM and netgate even makes an ARM based unit that is for small offices and is amazing. ARM laptops also last for like 25 hours so I think people will be switching.

Full commerical network hardware. Netgate makes the pfsense firewall and they make hardware for remote workers. You can traffic shape and have a VPN to your company and ensure that voice and your workstation have the bandwidth they need and your home gets the rest. A good firewall at your home can make all the difference and once that doesnt have yearly subscriptions is a good route to go.

Learning Azure Dev Ops is always good as it makes it possible to publish your own Ideas in a scalable environment that is affordable. Microsoft Learn is pretty neat as they will take you through the basics for free, just take your time. You also get nifty badges from Microsoft for completing different learning modules. They are very much making it look like a nice page you can attach to a resume.
