If stuck with task - 5 minutes and I am back to Windows. Don’t recall actually using that capability, especially after I set up free testing Windows VM on Linux.
- berliner 8y agoI transitioned from OS X by installing Debian on a Macbook (dual boot with OS X). If I remember correctly, I never booted into OS X again, and eventually switched to Thinkpads, Dell XPS etc. I am a Backend Engineer so I have the luxury of not being dependent on proprietary developer ecosystems like iOS etc. Good luck!
