what are the best types of desktops for developing apps?

first welcome to devrant.
second I think you wanna know abt os rather than desktop!!!

any sort of desktop should be fine.

@rookiemaverick os and hardware requirements I meant

@astronomicalcat it depends. if u r using cross platform tech then any linux based os or osx will be good. I use fedora and macos

@rookiemaverick I'm not familiar with Linux and software development tools for the GUI?

@astronomicalcat it really depends on what you're doing. But I have liked using Genie. I have also liked using the qt IDE, as well as just plain old gedit.

I don't do much Android/Java stuff, so I can't speak to that.

Don't forget that you need access to a Mac in order to build iOS/tvOS apps.

I like a good hardwood desktop. MDF is acceptable on a budget.

Wait, this isn't carpRant, is it?
