Can you elaborate on "Linux is better for development"? Guessing it can only come down to differences in apt and brew and not much more (not that this couldn't be reason enough)?
edit: this article mentioned MacOS and Linux and so that's all I thought OP's comment was referring to. We all know the advantages compared to Windows. Of course Windows is constantly improving.
- methyl 10y agoLots of tools (one example is Webpack) are significantly slower under Windows.
- grimgrin 10y agoSince the article was about MacOS/Apple and Linux I thought they were comparing to MacOS.
- erichurkman 10y agoA ram disk containing your node_modules/ directory can help a ton with webpack on Windows, and Node in general.
- sz4kerto 10y agoSorry - it's better for my job. But e.g. for Xamarin development it's worse :) I don't even consider macOS because I never liked the Mac hardware (had a late 2013 rMBP...)
