I’m a junior backend software engineer. I use a Vim plugin on my fancy code editor. I like the command line but I’m not all in on it or anything.

If I was a Windows user I’d switch. But being a Mac user I have a lot of what I need for software development.

What am I missing out on? Genuine question.

    Eventually you would not have to switch from your MacBook M1 if you like the hardware. Consider following asahi linux, you can follow them on Mastodon or just their GitHub

    While I am a Linux user myself I would not recommend switching if you are happy with macOS, especially in the software eng. field there is not much reason to switch unless you explicitly need a platform to do your work. If you can accomplish your work on any platform pick what you’re most comfortable with.
