@marcerisson lmao yeah. He modified it by mistake

@Torbuntu Well, yeah.. duh. But I'd rather deal with the bloat of macOS (and believe me, there is quite a bit of it) for the certainty that it will work. I understand that having a minimal install will have its problems, and that's why I've stopped using that for OTG work. However, the reason why I'm not switching to a more popular distro like Ubuntu or Fedora is that for the amount of bloat that I'm getting (less than macOS for sure, but way more than I would like), I wouldn't want to ever run into any problems. As we all know, that is not often the case.

@Torbuntu Sure, arch is notorious for this type of behavior, but for my purposes, its benefits far outweigh its drawbacks. However, some services, such as bluetooth and WPA2 Enterprise are known and constantly recurring issues across distros.

If your workplace recognizes that there is a linux community, and accommodates for it, then linux is the obvious choice. If not, then having to deal with something as fundamental as networking can be a huge productivity sink.

@oudalally You also have to take into account the popularity of the software. As macOS is getting more and more popular, it is beneficial for companies to increase support for macOS in order to appeal to the larger demographic.

@Torbuntu The probably isn't setting up the wifi... the problem is how many times I have to set it up.

I'm totally ok dumping a couple days of time into the computer if it will run smoothly afterwards. I'm not ok with having dumped a couple of days, and still having to configure it every time I connect to a new network.

@fuck2code If you have tried to configure WPA2 Enterprise on Ubuntu, you will know that it isn't much better.

The only reason I'd used linux on my laptop before was for i3, but I realized that the only software that I used was vim, tmux, docker, and ssh. Those tools are really easy to install on macOS as well, and helps me recreate my dev environment really easily.

@lelp I guess... Where I come from, having to deal with Linux's bullshit is almost a right of passage.

While Linux is vastly superior in desktop/server/actual use, when I'm in a hotel, I just want to get my work done!

@yashovardhan99 ahh the endless cycle

@yashovardhan99 what happens if you get a call while you are debugging this application tho?

“Facebook for Developers”

@MrWouter nah... too easy to read. What’s next? Comments???

Everyone else is asleep... it’s just you, your thoughts, and your editor. Literally power hour.

@oudalally Exactly. At the end of the day, it is Turing complete, so everything can be done in PHP... but the amount of man-hours you are going to burn trying to get PHP to work would be much better spent in stricter or more specialized languages.

@oudalally I actually started on PHP lmao. Once I switched, I never looked back... until now. I wouldn’t call it “bad”, but I agree with you, it’s just a messy system overall.

@InterferenceObj yep... and my webhost doesn’t even have freaking docker support! I honesty don’t know how they are competitive nowadays...
