I'm in the same camp as you. I really like this hardware but I don't want to use Windows. I don't think we'll see any good support for all of the modes it can operate in on other operating systems though at least not for a long while and then in very limited capacity.
Me not wanting to use Windows is more about unfamiliarity with what modern windows is like for a non MS centric developer. My previous experience dates back to the XP days where trying to do anything other than MS things was a chore. I _really_ like the surfacebook, maybe it's time to take another look at windows?
- mmastrac 11y agoI think the biggest barriers to me would be the awesome package ecosystems in unix land (mysql, postgres and mongo are all a single "brew install" away!). I also would miss working in bash in iTerm and/or Apple's Terminal. Unless they've done a lot of work on the command prompt, it'll be moving back into a world of pain.
- mirkoadari 11y agoHave you taken a look at Chocolatey and OneGet? I've been an avid Windows user as I grew tired of resolving Linux issues daily, and haven't really missed anything. Chocolately + ConEmu + Git for Windows (comes with ssh and most of the unix tools) + PowerShell for more complex scripts.
