Why aren't you using Linux then?
- sdegutis 7y agoNot GP but Linux on laptops often has its own problems, including unreasonable battery usage that's non-trivially hard to fix.
- throwaway894345 7y agoI like Linux as much as the next guy, but the Linux desktop ecosystem (hardware and software) doesn't get the investment it needs to be on-par with Mac. It's cheaper and easier to jettison Docker than MacOS.
- ben0x539 7y agoNot the person you're responding to, but I'd like to add a data point. I try to use Linux where I can (I use it at home and for personal projects). Alas, I work in an environment where MacOS users are prioritized, so sometimes I cannot use tools or access services controlled by other people who still have "linux support" somewhere in their backlog. Depending on how critical these apps are for my work, putting up with eg. a sub-par Docker experience on MacOS may be the lesser evil.
