Just out of curiosity: Have you considered creating a small Linux VM for your local development...? That might save some frustration.
- tsimionescu 6y agoNot OP, but normally a small Linux VM is going to be slow, and a big Linux VM is going to slow down anything else. It can become worth it, but it may also not be...
- cpach 6y agoSlow for what...? That would depend very much on what kind of development one does. AFAIK there are lots of dev work that doesn’t really require much raw power from the dev environment. (Disclaimer: I’m not at all familiar with 'mumblemumble’s requirements.)
- tsimionescu 6y agoIt depends a lot on your tech stack, but lots of techs require compilation of some kind, which is usually expensive both in terms of CPU and RAM. CPU time is sometimes shareable between your VM and your OS, but RAM usually isn't. For my own tech stack for example, the most expensive part of a build in terms of compute resources is TypeScript compilation.
