Trust me, this is not a convenient solution, especially in my case (flexible working hours).īased on that experience I decided to switch to something which combines some of the good features of Linux and the usability of Windows, and I bought my first MacBook Pro. I was trying to separate work from after-work activities by using two operating systems, switching from one to another based on what I wanted to do. Unfortunately, I had only one computer for work and entertainment, and for this second task, Linux was not good enough for me. I prefer the command line over GUI and also Symfony based projects were quite slow on windows back then. Why not buy a “normal” computer with Linux on it?Īt the very beginning, I was a Windows user and did not need a lot of time to realize that it is not well suited for my programmer career. For some applications, this won’t be a big problem, but all apps which perform many I/O disk operations will be affected and probably not usable.

These are related to volume performance, the way volumes are mounted, and the underlying osxfs filesystem.

On Mac has had some performance issues since the beginning. Update for 2022: Docker on new MacBook with M1 Pro Why is Docker on Mac so slow?
