Yes, you shouldn't do Ruby development on Windows if at all possible. But is there any reason why OS X is not mentioned in the Linux section? It is after all what many Ruby developers use.
- thrkw123456789 10y agoBecause osx in not linux? (Although it does bundle some out of date gnu tools.) A separate osx section would seem more appropriate.
- acangiano 10y agoPoor phrasing on my part. What I meant is to have an OS section and then discuss Linux and OS X as the two main options or mention OS X as an alternative, if Linux is the OS he intends to promote in the section. He could also mention non-Darwin BSD.
- Scarbutt 10y agois nicer to have the same enviroment for dev and production, less surprises, in OS X I use a linux vm too but most of the time I'm on a VPS.
- iJackUA 10y agoLinux is mentioned because it is a common server OS and Linux knowledge is the most helpful for web dev. OSX do not add any extra value to this aspect of knowledge (despite I do use OSX as desktop OS).
- heidar 10y agoIt does if you use FreeBSD for your servers.
