Unlikely to work in any corporate environment that I've witnessed.
This is why so many devs I know moved to Mac's. Not because Mac's are necessary that great, who cares about battery life when it just sits on a desk, but because it's the closest you can get to Linux in a corporate environment.
I would take native Linux on an ThinkPad as first option, but denied that I would go for Mac over Windows. I don't find WSL fixed all the other Windows problems such as lack of support for multiple desktops. They exist but the implementation is terrible.
- surban 4y agoWindows 11 natively supports multiple desktops.
- happymellon 4y agoIs it better than 7 or 10? As those "supported" multiple desktops, but was implemented in such a bad way. Gnome and KDE are so much smoother when it comes to these workflows.
- SuperSandro2000 4y agoMac's are closer to BSD than Linux and suck for Linux oriented development. Brew is more ductape than a solution and you basically need to replace all GNU tools since they are horrible out of date.
- happymellon 4y agoI completely agree that Mac's suck for development. Running 32gb laptops to run a few development environments that really should be fine in 16gb is sad.
