If you happen to forget the -m though, you may also need to have mastered exiting vim

What developer uses Linux in professional work? Maybe for on the side stuff but I haven't seen any corporate Linux machines.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

The entire IT ecosystem is built around Linux, because it's so prevalent in servers, containers, budget hardware and the open-source community.

Yes, many companies don't understand that and expect their devs to be productive on Windows. But in my experience, that's an uphill battle.

In my company, we get very little IT support, if we decide to order a Linux laptop and we still have significantly less trouble with getting things set up to start coding.
Not to mention the productivity boost from having all the relevant technologies natively available + being able to script whatever you want.

Everywhere I've worked, you have a Windows/Mac for emails, and then either use WSL, develop on console in Mac since it's Linux, or most commonly have a dedicated Linux box or workstation.

I'm starting to see people using VSCode more these days though.

I thought Mac was unix which is similar but different from Linux?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

They're both UNIX-like, i.e. they both implement the POSIX specification and are therefore in many ways compatible.

But yeah, modern macOS is more directly derived from the original UNIX operating system.
Linux was instead implemented from scratch to be compatible with UNIX.
