Windows 10 is solid, stable and fast. And runs my games, and Lightroom, and... And now, with Linux Subsystem for Windows, also runs the Ubuntu 14.04 userspace quite well. I've setup the dressed-down version of mintty with VcXsrv for the occasional X11 app, and to my surprise it does what it wants. Now, for most of my day-to-day development I either use Tmux or iTerm2 with tiled terminals or IntelliJ, so YMMV, but I'm actually seriously considering to have my next workstation be on Win10.
- dcdevito 10y agoI was excited when MSFT announced WSL, I immediately started digging into it when I received the AU last summer. What killed it for me was being unable to edit the same files between WSL and Windows - I'm a CLI guy but I do like the occasional text editor to write in. So I gave up a couple months ago. I also found no way of storing ssh/ppk/pem keys anywhere for WSL. I know it's in beta and I know many changes are coming, but I needed to start working on a real side project and needed a reliable and dependable dev environment. maybe one day we can replace CMD with bash entirely, that would be nice. But I also need to target and test Ionic apps on iOS, so I need OS X in some capacity. I've used Phonegap Build but it's a hassle and not free, I'm just more comfy in OS X
