The problem with a mac as a developer machine is native libraries. The stars have to align for your F/OSS to work properly. Even brew punches itself in the throat regularly. On linux it just works. That said I use my mac more often than Linux, mostly because I spent so much money for it, go figure.
- coldtea 10y agoWhy you'd setup your desktop machine as a dev environment? Use vagrant or Docker on the Mac -- you get reproducibility, snapshots, an environment fully compliant with any server you want to deploy to, etc, and you still get to code for it (editing source etc) from the Mac.
