    Wait until DHH finds NixOS, where we can configure everything via single configuration. Even multiple machines.

    I love Debian for what it taught me, but I’m not sure if I’ll ever use anything else.

      No dev worth their salt works in Windows.

      lol. Tell that to my team who has been developing our product for Windows for 25-30 years, generating probably a billion euros over the years.

      Can’t tell if you’re just joking or not but either way. 😄

      Personally, i have a strong preference for Linux, but I don’t care if it’s a Mac. It’s unix-like enough, and all my stuff works. In fact, I already have a NixOS + Nix-darwin setup going really well. Windows though is just a hard no
