What makes it terrible?
- DennisAleynikov 4y agoIt's like if Ubuntu locked you in a jail Only windows is worse
- dmonitor 4y agothat’s still better than windows in my book
- rcme 4y agoI guess I was hoping for a more concrete example.
- DennisAleynikov 4y agospecifically the weird discrepancy when porting anything there, the lack of bootcamp support (used to be a thing). just feels kinda like iOS on the desktop give all of the restrictions. The universal codesigning and difficulty with making macos/ios apps unless you have a developer account and pay $100 is also a slap in the face. just gives off an unprofessional vibe. but to be honest I would never use windows for development either unless I'm only using WSL2
- nickstinemates 4y agoI have no issues with people who like it; it's not for me for a multitude of reasons. From system management and integration, lack of apps, being a walled garden etc. People call out the heroics of homebrew, but this problem exists on Windows - you can use chocolatey and whatnot in the same way. I have different gripes with Windows which are also mentioned here. Whereas with Apple products I feel like my freedom is suppressed, with Windows I feel Big-Brother like oppression. M1 Air is a great laptop. I love it for the battery life and weight. I only use it when traveling, specifically en-route when a traditional keyboard/mouse isn't viable. All of my development is still done on Linux even when using a local editor via VS Code Remote SSH support.
