@gitpush been using linux for 8 years...
Hmmm maybe I should reboot at some point ;) -
@antonis179 dat amazing feeling bro that I can't experience as I can't rely on Linux 🙁
-
@gitpush aren't you though?
Underneath all the fluff mac is built on linux isn't it?
If they build something I can work with I'll probably get a macbook at some point - wanna do some ios alongside android.
For now I'm sticking with my alienware :) -
@antonis179 the problem is I do mobile apps, .net web services. Since the release of dot net core I'm switching to Linux for services but as a VM too bad we can't do iOS development on Linux or else Android studio is waaay better on Linux, on windows it eats too much RAM and on Mac it has its ups and downs 😒
-
@antonis179 same here, though I had to work on a Mac mini with 4GB for iOS development for a year. Now I know what hell is 😪
-
@gitpush yeah and if I had bought a macbook with 16gb and dedicated graphics it'd be ~1k extra than my maxed out alienware (which has better overall performance too).
Too damn many compromises pfff -
Ya their prices are just too damn high for no added value but say, a nicely designed device but it's becoming a classic design and boring. @antonis179
-
@gitpush personally I'll take a well cooled laptop over a "beautiful" one every time.
Haven't gone over 70 C yet on alienware but I hear 90-100 is common for macs? That would be killing my builds all day! -
@antonis179 don't know about heat but ya I rely on my Lenovo with 16GB ram rather than Mac
