dev done in virtualbox linux VM, which i definitely recommend doing if you can get away with it.
I will likely move to a linux machine next time around, short of apple surprising us with a new release.
- nwenzel 10y agoIf you're using a Linux VM, is there a difference between using a Mac vs Windows?
- meesterdude 10y agoYes, for me I have a lot of stuff still in OSX, and a few hard-to-leave apps. When my iMac died, i moved my VM to my PC and was able to get back to work with minimal downtime. But even within my VM, I found windows managed to interrupt the experience enough that I went and bought a mac sooner than later. Which is a shame, because my VM gets about twice the performance on the PC. So for me it's now Mac for leisure, Windows for gaming, Linux VM for work. But I will move to Linux for leisure, linux VM for work, and (maybe) windows for gaming. I may end up getting a low-end Mac and using VNC or RDP for the few mac apps I really want, if I can't find alternatives.
