I kind of do both. I have a powerful desktop with 4 monitors. I can't stand working on a single laptop screen unless I'm traveling. And I also want to keep work separate. So, I have my laptop sitting next to my PC and I just RDP into it. This way all 4 screens are work only stuff when I'm working. Then at the end of the day I can just disconnect the session and have my personal stuff. I also have ADHD, so I try not never leave the work session during work times. I've been working from exclusively for about 6 years now and it has been the best system I've tried.
this is pretty much what I do. I had a hybrid schedule prior to this newer job which I got riiiiiight as the pandemic was starting. it's fully remote. I definitely hated working from home previously because I feel like I can't get anything done on one tiny little screen. with the new setup, I don't mind working from and I feel like I get plenty done. no complaints from the bosses either.
