Good thing you can afford the kind of expense that the luxury of that hate is costing you then, I guess.

- coliveira 5y agoFor a professional developer the difference in cost is not that much bigger.
- nickpp 5y agoWell, generally speaking Windows and Mac developers are in such demand that hardware is quite a small expense compared to how much they make. Is the experience very different for Linux developers?
- KptMarchewa 5y agoIt's very weird to be talking about "windows, mac or linux" developers. Desktop application development today is maybe about 1-5% of all development, while overwhelming majority of backend development - the largest category - targets Linux.
- handrous 5y agoPercentage of the way to being as good as all desktop operating systems ought, at a minimum, to be: Windows: 70% Linux: 20-80% depending on your hardware, what you're doing with it, and how lucky you got with the current kernel & libraries your distro is running. MacOS: 90% So when Apple fucks up really bad and MacOS temporarily drops to 70%, no, I still don't switch. Every desktop operating system is shitty, but there are degrees of shitty. And yes, I use all three pretty regularly.
- diffeomorphism 5y agoCrashing while doing your work is not "drops to 70%". That is the problem we were discussing and that is not a minor inconvenience.
