Ask HN: What OS are you running on your Macbook and why?
I'm constantly switching between ArchLinux and macOS. I feel so much more at home with ArchLinux. But macOS gives me 12 hour battery life and closing the lid hibernates it properly.
What are you guys running and why?
- mondoshawan 10y agoMostly OSX. Seriously thinking about ditching the thing and going and getting a Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition, though.
- shincert 10y agoCare to elaborate why you're switching?
- josho 10y agoOS X because I don't get paid to futz with my OS to get it working right. But, most of the time I also have a Linux VM image running to give me a closer production like environment.
- rdtek 10y agoWindows 10 under bootcamp as I do a lot of development for Windows. Strangely Win 10 runs faster on my mac than OSX El Capitan.
- shincert 10y agoHow's the battery life?
- rakshithbekal 10y agowindows 10, runs faster than macOS and now it is better for development than macOS itself and I could do a load of things much better and faster in w10 so I don't really see the point in using macOS.
- shincert 10y agoHow's the battery life?
- rakshithbekal 10y agoIts not bad ,gives about the same as macOS. 7-8 hours usually but there was a time when I used to get 12 hours but that was when I just installed w10.
