As developers, the tools we use can significantly impact our workflow and productivity. One question that often comes up is whether a MacBook or a ...

IMHO MacBookPro 13 col M1 or better CPU, with touch bar ( instead Functions keys ) is the best developer machine ever. Without mouse, because Mac TouchPad also fantastic.
I am not apple fun but that laptop is fare better than any windows laptop I was meet.
UNIX based MacOs is very good to be familiar of Linux shell also.
On work I need to use a windows laptop where run Linux on VDI ... which a bit slow. But Linux also beat the windows for development experience.
At last if need to work on windows the gitbash terminal is my friend to use near same experience as Linux.
Mac back side is 3D graphic is drain power so fast
when it comes to price range vs performance based on price range would you consider using the other os?
When the price (or maybe the performance) is the first priority of OS then answer is Linux. But my decision is developer experience first.
I was also try to create a minimal developer machine which is a phone as bluetooth keyboard - with Virtual Buttons app( Samsung A51 currently ) and my Samsung S6 mini table as compueter. But this setup under testing. And Virtual Buttons app need to be customize for coding.
Bluetooth keyboard also good, but every one have at least one phone.
This setup is working with two phone also.
awesome answer 😁👍
Linux on System76 all the way!
why linux? is it because it runs docker better than mac and windows? can you please tell us why. thanks ☺️
As a new Mac user, Linux.
what is the specs or model of your mac? and why did you still stick to linux? 😊
Linux is the best. Anyway, it depends on your preference. Mac and Windows have pro et neg avantage.
awesome! linux it is. without thinking about preference, would u still recommend linux? what is your experience using it? what laptop do you recommend? that would be awesome. ☺️
If you’re a mobile developer you actually need macbook, otherwise windows or linux could serve you well, that’s simple
ah yes,,, you can build ios apps in mac, and you can also build android in mac. But if I may. but do others really need mac? what can u say about running mac as virtual machine inside windows or linux? or maybe building apps on mac cloud? 😊
I use Windows. I saw a post on Reddit yesterday saying that compiling Next.js on Mac is 10 times faster than on Windows. I am considering buying a Mac Air.
If you want a conglomerate to look over your shoulder, then pick Mac or Win. Otherwise - Linux.

M2 Air 16gb. I don't think I'll upgrade for another 2 years at least.
In my opinion, Linux is good for developer :v. But some tools not available on Linux.
agree linux is really good. when it comes to linux, i think windows has wsl2, that you can easily integrate linux.
I am using an M2 Macbook for more than a year know. I have become used to it. I don't find any complexity or any issue till now.
