Linux tooling support is still very important to me. I want to be able to enjoy Konsole and Sublime text.
Windows Subsystem for Linux is getting there, but I don't think it's as advanced as ChromeOS' yet. Besides, I don't like the Metro interface and Windows 10 in general.
Mac means tying to Apple hardware. Apple hardware means crappy keyboard, heavy laptop, and no touch screen.
- sz4kerto 8y agoI'm just using Windows with Linux in a VM. All the hardware support and all the Linux goodies. (Some extra memory is required, but my thin-and-light 14" laptop had 32G, so it's ok.)
- moron4hire 8y agoI finally sprung for VMware instead of VirtualBox and running a Linux guest on Windows has gotten so much better for me.
- tootie 8y agoI had a Win 10 laptop with WSL and a touchscreen as my main workstation for a year and I loved it. Sublime is already superceded by VS Code in my mind. Haven't tried Konsole, but I've seen some threads to indicate it can be done. My new job requires me to have a Mac because we do some iOS work and generate a lot of Keynote decks and I just hate it.
