- valarauca1 12y agoOne thing you could consider doing if you are serious about the project is replacing the standard debian testing kernel with the proper kernel. Debian guts all non-free packages, and binary drivers from the kernel. This greatly improves hardware support.
- mntmn 12y agoThank you, I will look into that. My only hardware concern is the internal microphone, though, everything else works. Even the keyboard backlight, suspend etc. I have much less trouble than I expected ;) [Edit: I am serious about this project. I'm running Debian full time now since more than a week and consider giving up iOS development, the only thing that can be done only on OS X]
- valarauca1 12y agoOSX can be ran in the KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) so if you don't want to quit your side job over the switch :) [1] http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~somlo/OSXKVM/ http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~somlo/OSXKVM/
- wooger 12y agoA question: Do you have your apt sources pointed at 'testing' or at 'jessie'. If the former, you may find stability takes a big hit after jessie becomes stable and all the new packages from unstable get pushed down. If the latter, you should be good.
- wooger 12y agoI use the same re-mapping of Ctrl, but use a standard PC keyboard - so I put Ctrl on the alt key, put alt on the windows key, and windows key on the ctrl key position. As I'm a emacs evil-mode user, I also put Escape on the caplock key. Overall debian is hard to beat unless you need the very latest versions of everything.
- nacs 12y agoIt's.. interesting how the Emacs setup is as long as the entire operating system/hardware writeup.
- serve_yay 12y agoIndeed, in fact I am going to try emacs based on this because I too like Sublime. I don't really care to use Linux. Edit: nevermind, that was awful
