I run Win 7 basically as a thin terminal + Steam machine, and do all my actual development (web stuff) on a LAN-connected Fedora machine via Samba and SSH. It works great, and it also means that I can pick up my Macbook or Chromebook (or just find a machine with an SSH client) and have my entire development environment immediately available.
- eropple 13y agoI've done that before for web stuff, but I quit when I found IntelliJ; I'd rather develop locally and not have to screw around with sbt (I use Play) because sbt is a tire fire. And there's no thin-client solution for game development (Xcode and as little MSVC as I'm forced into using), so I'm sort of stuck there too. But for me the OS matters, too. I have a strong aversion to how Windows handles...well, Windows, and Linux isn't much better there either. Mission Control is good enough to be a "nope, won't go back" for me.
