In an effort to reinvigorate my computer chops, I've been bouncing between macOS, linux (Manjaro), and Windows 10 on my personal laptop, switching to the next OS in rotation every Sunday night. I'm set up to develop a number of my personal web projects in all three operating systems, with my environment being (more or less) the same across all three (Angular and Python development) using Sublime as my primary text editor, Firefox as my primary browser. I've gone out of my way to NOT rely on the Linux subsystem on Windows, trying to keep my Windows experience more 'vanilla'. I'm only on my second week of using Windows, but I have to say, it is BY FAR my least favorite environment to work in of the three.
- m_mueller 7y agoWhy restrict yourself to not use WSL? For me it's the best of all worlds currently - your favorite package manager giving you all Linux binaries you want, to operate on the same data that your windows GUI tools can also. Especially with VS code it is seemlessly integrated through remote tools and the "code" Linux binary. Only thing I'm missing is a terminal on the same level as Terminal.app or iterm, but I assume the coming update should solve that.
