Difference between Ubuntu and MacOS for web dev?
Difference between Ubuntu and MacOS for web dev?
I'm starting a full-stack project that needs MacOSx. Should I just dualboot Ubuntu with my Windows laptop, or do I really need a MacOS machine—maybe through hackintoshifting or using a slower dual-core Macbook? Also, Docker seems to run better on MacOS than Windows and natively on Linux, so I'm planning to go with Ubuntu.
It's not a Linux distribution that's significantly different... I only heard from a few folks that macOS is built on Linux but isn't a complete Linux system at all.
It heavily relies on the languages in use if it's a mean or MEV stack; the choice shouldn't affect you whether you're on macOS or Windows. If you're using macOS, consider apps that suit your needs and avoid Windows for backend development since deploying the backend might be better on Linux.
