There is a big difference between working OK and working in a pleasant to use manner.
Every time I've ever tried to use Linux as my daily driver it has worked OK. But it has never been pleasant to use and as such I never stick with it for too long.
- mark_l_watson 6y agoI usually use a MacBook but I also use a beefed up System76 laptop with a good GPU, i7, and double the memory. Things like large Haskell builds, anything using TensorFlow, etc. runs so much faster than my MacBook there is no comparison. Everyone gets to choose their own setup, but to be honest, if I didn't like my Apple Mac+Watch+iPhone+iPad interop so much, I would always use the much faster Linux system. At my old job, I had the fastest current MacBook Pro configuration and it was much slower than my System76 rig.
