- vesinisa 8y agoOr any GNU/Linux distribution, which actually offer a superior developer experience in my opinion. People complaining about their Macs type posts constantly top HN. Usually the comments are filled with further moaning about how things have been so bad for so long with Apple etc., usually accompanied by threats of moving to another platform.
- EduardoBautista 8y agoI complain about the Mac from time to time. I just think the alternatives are much worse.
- hungerstrike 8y agoFollowed by comments about how Mac OS is somehow “the best” despite the fact that the vast majority of developers prefer Windows.
- DoofusOfDeath 8y agoI certainly prefer Linux over native OS X as my development environment, if I ignore the issue of using the hardware. In particular, with OS X I never need to worry about video drivers, switching dGPU on/off, etc. just to use my laptop in typical ways.
- irascible 8y agoI bought a chrome book on sale for 140 bucks. I thought it was a toy but probably fine for email.. fast forward.. that chromebook has outlasted my other desktop and laptop.. it's been beaten up.. tossed around.. I've loaned it to computer illiterate relatIves who use it with zero problems, and it has never gotten jacked up with adware. Now when I'm on the road I write javascript on it, disconnected from the net. Some of the best money I've ever spent.
