Solid hardware review but I'm more interested in the software user experience. I'm wanting to transition away for Mac for Node / React development and professional photography. Unfortunately the lack of Unix and weird things like backslash in folder paths is holding me back.
I'd be curious to hear stories of any React / Node developers making the switch and their recommendations. Do you just run an Ubuntu image in a VM for running all your Node stuff?
- broletariat 8y agoI have had limited success using the Windows Subsystem for Linux on my current project which is mostly FaaS on AWS with ES6/Typescript. It's not perfect but I would recommend giving it a shot, it's pretty darn close.
- mnkypete 8y agoWhy would you run Ubuntu for that, Node runs pretty well on Windows, I work with it daily. Combined with VS Code I'm not sure what there should be missing...
