Currently using a netbook with Ubuntu 11.04 on it. Absolutely hating that I updated, because Unity is just barely able to run on it. I'm in the middle of a few projects, otherwise I'd take the time to either try out Unity 2D or go for something like Arch or Fedora.
But, I've already decided to pick-up a Macbook Air as soon as the product line is refreshed. I _want_ to like Linux on the "desktop" and continue using it, but after using a Mac at work for development for the past several months the difference is really night and day. The applications just aren't even close to being where I'd need them to be, and I want to branch out beyond Android apps to iOS as well in my free time.
In short: as long you're not using Windows you're fine. Unless you're a game developer targeting Windows and/or Xbox. Then you really have no choice.

- bhousel 15y agoUse homebrew instead of macports for Mac. I think it took me less time to completely uninstall everything that macports did and reinstall as homebrew packages, than it would have taken to just 'port update' a typical macports package.
- berntb 15y agoSigh, the world totally changes if you turn your back a year while writing a hobby project, move to another country and so on... :-) Thanks for the reference, it looks good.
- drongo 15y agoI hate Unity too, it's really ugly. I just disabled it - and now Ubuntu looks nice again :)
