If WSL is able to deliver a real, honest-to-goodness linux experience, it will get me out of OSX and back onto windows. OSX becomes less compelling every release and the only thing that keeps me here is the *nix development environment.
- laurentdc 10y agoSame. Especially since El Capitan I've had nothing but trouble with SIP (System Integrity Protection), both in working with OpenVPN (due to unsigned interface .kexts) and even in simple stuff such as trying to pip install something that overwrites an already existing library outside of a virtual environment. I'm root, it's my system, I know what I'm doing, Apple! If I have to install Ubuntu on VirtualBox to get a controllable UNIX system back I might aswell do it on my ThinkPad with Windows 10, which as a bonus has a decent keyboard, upgradeable RAM and hot-swappable battery.
- fuzzfactor 10y agoI would have thought it was still fairly straightforward to put in a bootmenu to select from OSX, Windows, or Linux upon bootup. Especially if you prepared the disk in advance. I only worked on one Mac, and I couldn't get as much done without my DOS/Windows & Linux tools, but this was a good solution for me.
