A lot of devs don’t want to tinker with Linux. Myself included. And this is disregarding all of the work places that only give out Windows or MacOS machines.

- SoftTalker 4y agoI use Linux. No tinkering required if you use a major distro. I used to like to tinker with stuff, but slowly my viewpoint changed. Most of the time these tweaks are just different, not better, and a waste of time. Worse, whenever you have to use a more stock configuration on another machine, you are fumbling around. These days I just use the defaults on almost everything, whether Windows, Mac, or Linux.
- mhh__ 4y agoThe comment I am replying to says that computers with keyboards are niche, that's what I'm replying to
- mhh__ 4y agoAlso I've spent a grand total of 30 minutes tinkering with my Linux machines this year, windows has had to be reinstalled twice.
- tormeh 4y agoNo tinkering required. Tinkering can be tempting and dangerous, but if you keep yourself in check it's just not a thing you need to do. Unless you install Arch, but then you deserve what you get. Just install Ubuntu or Pop and you'll be fine.
- phendrenad2 4y ago"No tinkering required" needs to come with a big YMMV. Most of the devs I've polled about their Linux experience matches the OP, they tried it and went back to Mac/Windows.
