![]() ![]() #Gitkraken m1 for freeI'm using Vmware fusion (tech preview) which is free, Vagrant and the vmware plugin (which Hashicorp released for free as well). My main concern with the new Macs were mainly: can I run ubuntu VMs via vagrant? I was in a more or less similar situation (old 2015 MBP). I do sometimes use and Linux and Windows VM's as well, VirtualBox doesn't support M1 yet and Apple have some new poorly supported virtualisation frameworkġ) What kind of codgy old tools do/don't work?Ģ) What VM software do you use? Does it have USB passthrough? How does it compare with VirtualBox's more advanced features? I am concerned that Rosetta won't be around forever, and I use tools today that one might regard as abandonware - they'll never get arm64 versions. Tools that I used wouldn't get 64bit updates for another few months. #Gitkraken m1 updateThe laptop form factor doesn't do anything for me any more either, and I want to jump straight onto a Mini or Studio (who's price is similar to what my MBP originally cost), but I feel like it's a blind jump without knowing if all my development tools are going to work.Īpple's relationship with backwards compatibility has always been poor, and Catalina's 32bit removal - even though I delayed by update for a year - still hurt. My 2017 MBP is getting very tired now, and after getting a taste of what a real machine is capable of since working from home, I've realised how much time I've wasted waiting for builds and whatnot. ![]() If the new Air turns out to be irresistible, then I might get that and maybe sell the ThinkPad. Costs half the price of a 512/16 Air here in India. I settled for a ThinkPad E14 Ryzen 5 (Linux). I realised I'm in an analysis-paralysis situation and this could go on forever. And then I'm again going to wait a few months to know from early adopters if there are any long term issues with the new Air. It'll probably be the end of this year when the redesigned Air comes out. Wait for that, unless I want my device to be obsolete sooner. I should just get the Air.Ģ022 March: a new redesign of Air is expected to come out later this year. #Gitkraken m1 proLet me wait a few months to learn about long term issues with early adopters.Ģ022 February: The Pro models are expensive and an overkill for my purposes. Let me wait for that, because I'm used to atleast 14".Ģ021 December: Macbook Pro is more expensive than I thought. Because it's a new processor, let me wait a few months to learn about long term issues with early adopters.Īnd thank God I didn't buy the earlier Intel Macs!Ģ021 March: they might launch Pro models with bigger screens. Thought about buying a Mac because I've used it occasionally before and I like the UI and display here's what happened:Ģ020 March: Covid-19! Better limit frivolous purchases.Ģ020 end: Ooooh! Those M1 Macs seem cool. (My employer provides beefier machines for work). However, it's getting long in the tooth and I was thinking about changing it. I've upgraded its internals over the years, so it still runs well. I've been running Linux on my old Dell laptop for like 8 years. And coding is the only thing I use a computer for. I only do lightweight coding on my personal machine. ![]()
