What do you use to switch between mac / linux?
I now have two setups, one pc one mac, would be neat to merge them

great setup. I've been considering adding key lights to my setup which is pretty similar which got me looking into the ways in which they can be controlled. The idea of a Stream Deck is nice but it's one more item on an already cluttered desk.
So for mac book pro users, there's an automation possible which lets you use the touchbar like a basic Stream Deck. It requires a little basic scripting but it's not complex from what I can see.

@Velocio are you using the Stream Deck in any other ways which I might miss out on?

What do you think makes the biggest difference here?

Meanwhile, 4 months later, I'm still working off the dining table, continually kicking my missus opposite me, on a borrowed monitor and stolen keyboard waiting for the arsehats to fix my flood damage, while my desk sits upsidedown in my bedroom and bikepacking stuff covers most of the floor.

Finally done... well, 99% done.
Desk works great, found myself standing 3 hours per day on average already, and for the most part the working environment achieves what I wanted to achieve.
What I was going for was "A long day in the office should not feel fatiguing and I should feel fresh at the end of it", balanced with "I and whomever I'm working with should feel like we're face to face in real life".
To that end:
There's a tonne of tech in here, and everything on the desk can be switched between a Windows PC mounted under the desk and whatever laptop (Linux or Mac) that goes onto the bamboo holder on the left of the desk.
The key pieces of tech:
Furniture:
End result: It cost a lot and was acquired over a very long period of time (a couple of years), but I've got a work space I don't physically feel, and a relaxed environment for long days of back to back meetings, tech work, or recording and editing presentations. And when I'm able to just work on docs I also have superb sounding music.
Edit 2023-11: lens is now the Sony 50mm f1.2 G Master, stream deck has been upgraded to stream deck +, monitor has been upgraded to a Samsung 32" 4k thing.
