Windows on desktop is a more stable system than Linux on desktop.

I used pure Arch for a few last years as a main system on my laptop (installed and configured in console manually, so I'm not a full newbie), and have used other Linux distributives before that also as a main system. Arch is fine, but

You didn't get a point of my message. But I'm not going to keep explaining conversation with a person who is writing to me to stop expressing my own opinion which is backed by some experience, you better keep chatting with your bu

Releasing in beta is not wrong, there are many really needed by default plugins and loaders that are supposed to work well with v2, so some time is needed for the transition period.

There is also a config validation, which is a good thing.

The thing is Webpack does all generally needed web building stuff out of the box and there are plugins and addition loaders. You can define needed behavior in a kind of way having no need dealing with Gulp mess. I used Gulp before, then swi

Why not Manjaro? Does Apricity ship Arch packages passed through the its own repositories doing some testing and making sure core components are not broken and work well one with each other in the Apricity terms and in general? Manjaro does

I think for those who are not able to install and configure Linux manually from scratch not using a graphical installer would be better to use Windows 10 (not a bad OS), with no irony. Since such kind of articles and "simplified"

This is what I meant, TouchBar + a pack of the minor improvements which should not cost +$500. Also take into the account that seems there is no option to get top hardware, but with an usual fn keys. It's better to get HP x360 for $130

It's not a niche anymore, Intel 7th gen has native Thunderbolt 3, so no extra chips needed, that should expand its popularity. Actually any modern laptop already comes with a TB3 ports (see Dell/HP/Apple stuff). > a port c

It's one time setup, I believe it's better to not limit youself in laptop choices for developers since it's your main tool, a tool that makes money for you. I'm for example would not be comfortable working on daily basis

Is there a problem to get any decently built laptop and put Linux on top of it in your own? You can argue that it's better to get laptop with Linux pre installed, but I don't 100% agree since Linux means freedom in choosing stuff

It got Kaby Lake and some other updates just recently.

It doesn't mean will it happen or not, Thunderbolt 3 is great thing for now.

Keep rest mate, I'm glad you made your choice.

I'm glad you're tough enough to carry heavy laptops, most of the people are not so tough.

Those things is not a deal breaker, it doesn't make sense to pay double price in comparison with similar laptops just to get above things, especially TouchBar which costs about $500 and will make you fill uncomfortable with laptop at l

> or fall by the wayside like Firewire did. There are reasons for this no happening. TB3 is compatible with USB Type-C port format, it has a very high bandwidth and it's supported by Intel.

That's not true, unless you are talking about Asus/Lenovo products, see larger picture.

Thunderbolt 3 is aimed to replace all currently existing ports, even a charging port, and that's great.

This message makes me think you are not used to carry your laptop on the daily basis. Try to carry you laptop at least a one day having for example a big walk (get new area/city to explore on the foot, for example).

Lenovo doesn't have Thunderbolt 3, but XPS and x360 do have it (x360 have 2 TB3 ports), so Lenovo is not an option. Not sure MS Surface does have TB3 ports.

Not a fetish, but practical thing, unless you keep your laptop constantly on the table or drive it only in the car.
