I currently use a Windows laptop dual boot with Ubuntu. I use windows only and only for gaming, which I haven't done for 6 months cuz I don't find the time anymore with work and few other hobbies (reading mainly). I also sometimes love to fiddle around on Photoshop, premiere pro etc.
Thinking of buying a new laptop sometime soon. Since I haven't been finding the time to game anyways, I was thinking should I just buy a MacBook then? People say it's better for developers and it definitely has a classy vibe and sexy sleek look windows, especially gaming laptops, lack. I have heard photoshop and premiere pro cracks are available on Mac too. Battery life is also so much better.
I see 2 disadvantages though, because of which I'm unable to decide.
What if I do start finding time to game again? I was thinking in that case I could keep upgrading my present gaming laptop as it is still pretty good. Is that feasible solution? Or maybe if earn more, keep another laptop dedicated to gaming. I don't game often, but whenever something like control elden ring etc comes out, I do play and finish over a period of time.
Is Mac as customisable as Linux? I'm no arch level customizer btw, just usual ubuntu lover, so weigh accordingly.
As per me buy Windows with good quality graphics over Mac is more worth it. Also instead of dual boot use Ubuntu canonical with WSL, you will be able to game and deploy a prod level app simultaneously.
Use docker
Wait for snapdragon x elite
YMMV. I buy a Windows laptop and remove Windows each time to exclusively use any Linux. 😌

After using it for a couple of months, I wonder why Mac even exists, the UX is sooo shitty. Even basic things aren't working properly as compared to windows.
I am planning to get a personal laptop, and I want to go for mac this time. I am from dev background, so I am looking for atleast 16GB of RAM with 256/512GB SSD. But I am not sure if it's worth to go for a new M2 or settle for 2019/20 In...
