Occasionally the contrarian DHH gets it right. He finally came to the logical conclusion of just using Linux as a development environment. A bit annoyed he didn't call out macOS for all of the ridiculous hoops you have to jump through to setup a dev env (XCode, iTerm2, homebrew, case insensitive file-systems, etc), where as every Linux distro provides everything via the built-in package manager.

@postmodern no, I mean like BBEdit, or Acorn, or XScope, or Tower. Those are just development related apps off the top of my mind. If I extend it to apps I use for music, then it’s a lot more.

@willhbr @postmodern I could probably handle it for just web dev (I also do iOS and Mac), but it would be a trade off. For everything, there’s categories of things I would not be able to do on Linux or at least not without completing changing how I do them.

@wood @postmodern doing music and recording on Windows would work, even if I wasn’t happy about it and had to use some different tools, but on Linux I don’t see how it would even be possible without completely changing how I do it in service of using Linux, and even then I’d be giving a lot up.
