I mostly nomad'ed around SE Asia, where free wifi in cafes is a given, and mobile caps are ridiculously huge/cheap (US$1 per week for 250Gb of download cap in Cambodia!)

Video calls from cafes suck, obviously, but also pretty common. You get used to it.

We got used to having "good wifi" as one of our primary considerations for Booking.com or Airbnb searches.

I'm using a Purism 14 laptop running PureOS, with an additional travel monitor when there's room. Linux wifi UI could use some work, but otherwise it works fine.
