On Windows you burn time eliminating ads, Edge, "set up your machine" popups, and other bullshit.
On MacOS you burn time papering over what is a completely incompetent OS for dev: containers, package management, fourty-fucking-five minute security patches, and other bullshit.
Linux generally just works.
- dekhn 4y agojwz still complains about linux, but less than mac! He uses Linux throughout his club and tech stack and still grumbles but I think he's finally recognized over time that Apple's attitude toward the UNIX core of Mac and its non-commitment to backwards comptability have repeatedly burned him.
