Nah these days with wsl, I prefer windows over Mac. At least you get packages that have been updated in the past decade.

What packages are you missing? With brew you can get most things

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

True.. although using brew to upgrade bash is far from straightforward. Plus you can't run gdb on a m1 mac.

Ah yeah tbh I only use fish so I've never had to bother upgrading bash. And actually yeah the M1 can be annoying. I have an M1 Mac for work and some libraries are a massive pain to get working on it

WSL has been super garbage for me with the WM closing without warning to update and if you don't limit the ram usage it just takes everything available because it just doesn't free memory that isn't using anymore. Two issues that have been open on the repository for a long time.
