My 2017 Macbook pro still has quite a lot of life in it, but it seems unlikely I will replace it with another Mac in a few years. Before the Mac I had a Lenovo X1 Carbon running Linux and it was great; and even then was a better development environment in some ways (docker has better filesystem performance, pacman is much better than homebrew). I do use some audio processing applications and my kids play a few games that do not run at all on Linux. I may try WSL again instead of going straight back to Linux, but its hard to imagine Mac will be the best OS for me.
- drewrv 6y agoI recently had to get a new laptop and went with windows for the first time in a decade. Macs are still great to develop on for now, but looking at the trajectory apple has taken, the growing pains ARM will likely bring, and also the trajectory of Windows, it seemed like Windows would be the safer choice over the next few years.
