Well, I'm a Linux user of 20 years, but always used a work provided MacBook. However I just bought my own personal MacBook and it feels bittersweet. I'm actually really loving it but feeling guilty about it, as if I've sold out. I'm enjoying everything just working and it is making me reconsider my philosophy on software. I even bought a few paid macOS apps. It feels comfortable.
- giancarlostoro 2y agoYou can always keep a Linux desktop / server around. I have all three major OS’ and will likely never buy another Windows device moving forward. Once my Surface Book 2 cannot update anymore I will retire Windows from my life outside of employers providing me with Windows laptops / workstations.
- tylerflick 2y agoI don't think it's selling out. I think it's just using the best available tool(s) for the job. Inverse point, I have used Mac Mini's as dedicated servers and there is much lacking in the experience compared to a headless Linux box.
- triyambakam 2y agoYeah actually, one of my reasons was that the MacBook is physically a really nice machine. The battery life is so good, the screen, the trackpad... It feels great to dev on it.
