- mqsiuser 12y agoE.g. Ryan Dahl uses Linux and has objections towards OSX. I trust him (and others) and I use Ubuntu on a MBPR (Linus likes 13inch screens with high res & low weight... he actually has a Mac Book Air). Now Ubuntu is maybe okay but for a professional SW-developer/hacker there are a couple of more roads to go down with (BSD, myriad of Linux distros / devices). There is a Mac standing in our living room and if you are an iOS dev ofc. Better than Windows in my opinion.
- sheepmullet 12y agoAs a developer I don't see any compelling reason to get a Mac unless you want to develop for iOS. In terms of dev work what does OSX provide that you don't get with Linux or Windows?
