In 2005 I made the switch from Windows to Mac as my primary desktop working environment. Thirteen years later I made a similar switch to Linux. And eighteen months after the switch, this Apple 'fan boy' is not looking back.
For a full stack Drupal developer, a Linux development environment makes sense. In this session, I will share the reasons why I switched to Linux, how it has impacted my day-to-day tasks, the ease and pain points of the switch. We will cover:
- Reasons to switch to Linux
- The easy way and the hard way
- Choosing a distribution
- Transition plan
- Software compatibility and alternatives
- Breaking away from the Apple ecosystem or not
- One year after the switch and moving forward
