Apple hardware was nice. Not anymore. I had to have the keyboard replaced on my touchbar model. And the 8 Gig memory limit is silly. Thanks to an external keyboard and vagrant I get to spend most of my time on linux with a good keyboard, so it is tolerable for now.
I would dump it for a linux laptop, but I work remote so every type of video chat/screen share tool needs to work. Most of them don't work on linux. My computer choice is dictated by chat tools, which is kind of sad.
- lygaret 9y agoI use Linux as a daily driver, and currently have zero issues using Hangouts and Hipchat's built in videochat, and only minor issues with Skype, for a data point...

- rodelrod 9y agoThat is indeed unfortunate but the windows version runs decently on Wine. It's a pain to figure out the exact versions of Evernote and Wine that will work + the fixes (currently I'm on Evernote 6.4 and Wine 2.1 using PlayOnLinux). In the end some annoying bugs linger, but for the most part I still prefer it to Evernote for Mac.
- iamdave 9y agoStill?
- emilsedgh 9y agoHangouts, Slack, Zoom.us, Appear.in (even Skype iirc) work fine with Debian.
- djsumdog 9y agoI had a company like that. I just ran Windows in a VM and connected it to the company domain controller. While at work, I used x11vnc on one display, tightvnc on the Windows VM on another monitor and would use that with WebEx if I needed to share my screen. At home, I ran the same setup but I used my gaming/windows laptop for my VNC client and WebEx. I could never get the Linux Cisco VPN client to work, so my work laptop just made an openvpn connection to my flat (fibre connections are nice).
