For the record, I use Mac and I like it that way.
ive always been one of the huge windows enthusiasts and i fsckin hate win11
Grow some skills and stop being stuck on one platform. You don’t want to be a one trick pony, right?
Eh. Sublime and vagrant run on windows and the machines are better value than Macs.
I’ll stick to a windows host with Linux rather than feed Apple ridiculous money for dongles that do shit that should be built in. Multiple display port out and a built in ethernet cable or death - I actually need a laptop that’s portable.
I just checked and it looks like the latest MacBook Pro has a single hdmi port and three USB-C ports… so I’ve got my power cable, my mouse, my keyboard, and my ethernet cable dongle… already at negative one ports. Then I’ve got two monitors on display port to somehow cram into a single hdmi port - and apparently the processor only supports a single external monitor unless you get the MacBook Pro Pro or MacBook Pro Max… that’s impressively shit.
All for 4,649 CAD - I can buy so many more ports on PC with a ridiculous amount of power for 4.5 thousand. I don’t mind spending my employer’s money, but I want to spend it on shit that’s useful for me.
You do you, boo. I like my Mac and it suits my needs perfectly. The cost difference is a mere drop in the bucket for my org.
You do, you boo is very much not the sentiment of your meme - and if I’m asking my company for a 4k+ CAD laptop I want one with a sufficient number of ports. My complaints are primarily focused on the fact that Macs are simply poorly designed machines these days, in the PC market I can still get a laptop that hooks up to multiple monitors without needing to lug around multiple dongles.
I’m sure you already downvoted the post, you may move along now.
For what it’s worth, WSL 2 with VSCode is actually great. Almost all the benefits of Linux (I still miss true tiling window management), with fewer weird driver issues.
That said, I generally just use whatever my company wants me to use, and I haven’t worked somewhere that let us use native Linux boxes since 2014.
I have to strongly disagree with you. I’ve used WSL 2 with VSCode, and I experienced waaaaaaaay more weird broken shit than I ever have running Linux. And even if it weren’t for that, it’s still not at all worth it IMO because using WSL 2 means every interaction I have with my development environment has to go through a Linux-to-Windows translation layer. I will never use Windows again for anything beyond testing unless I’m forced to.
🤷 That wasn’t my experience, and I used it as my primary dev environment for four years.
It doesn’t go through a translation layer, though. WSL 2 has a whole separate kernel. You can even use GUI apps with Wayland.
I hope this is bait.
Notepad++ and putty are what makes you a true professional.
But how do you exit vim?
