The main seller here is ARM support for a modern IDE.
A few years back, my "main" machine was a Samsung Chromebook 2 (13") running Xubuntu (Ubuntu with XFCE) via crouton. Surprisingly snappy and quite useful as a thin client/web coding machine.
My biggest gripe back then was the lack of Sublime builds for ARM machines. This then, would be pretty welcome to anyone in that niche.
- dleslie 8y agoEmacs and Vim work fine on ARM.
- robgibbons 8y agoVery true. I admit I am a heathen who relies on cursors far too much. Let's reframe that as GUI-based IDEs.
- black-tea 8y agoEmacs and vim have GUIs.
- jcelerier 8y ago> The main seller here is ARM support for a modern IDE. pretty sure all the common linux IDEs, QtCreator, KDevelop, Gnome Builder, etc. work fine on ARM
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoTrouble is (and I say this as a full-time Linux user and developer) all of the above are terrible IDEs.
