| I used Fedora/Ubuntu at works and Arch Linux at home exclusively to 2012 when I started to get into Ios dev. Nowadays I used Mac exclusively for all of my work + personal setup(except Server of course). And I'm convince that the only reason for me to use it is due to iOS dev. If I can get away with it I will go back to Linux. Some points: - No more dealing with homebrew and its bizarre upgrade policies. You don't know when a package will be break. You run `brew install python` and every thing broken. - No more dealing with the weirdo of its disk image and the locked of system volume - No more dealing with junks stuff in a few place such as `/Library` or `/System/Library` and `~/Library` - No longer has to run docker in a VM - Fuse just works - No more buggy file watchers. For some reasons the file watcher (fsnotify package I belive) on Mac sometime works, sometime not and sometime just had CPU up to 100% - No more custom syntax to work with fslimit - No more plist file that also gzip and encrypt - No more installing software by going to a website and download a stupid xip file. - No more reverse engineering how a certain thing works and script it out. But due to iOS works, not just iOS development I also help with CI/CD for mobile app and having access to a mac locally is handy, I have to keep using it. |
