Have you tried giving NixOS a shot ? Would love to see a video on that Nix+hyprland
NixOS is definitely high up on the list of things I want to experiment with. I started using the Nix package manager in my devcontainer setup and I love the idea of having my OS completely defined in code. On the other hand, it's a deep rabbit hole to go down
He is freelancer, I doubt there is much time to dig too much with NixOS. At least in my experience I had to write nix files for packages I wanted to use for my work that were not supported. If there is money on the line and a deadline, you have no time to tinker around. For this reason I also stay on macOS. I love linux, but at a daily driver is a tough choice, since I also need to deploy iOS apps. And since Mac is unix based and has great software support (almost like Windows), I think macOS is such a good choice if you can afford it. I wish their company wasn't that hostile towards their users.
maybe buy an m1 max macbook? It's cheaper with almost the same performance as the m3
I love your videos, relaxing and informative!
Thank you so much!
I use Windows 11 +WSL2 for my content creation / personal and a very happy with it. I also have a MacBook Pro but is my company's laptop and I don't like to mix things so... Building a PC is a good idea in my opinion if you don't need to move around with your computer and also you can get double the performance for half of the price.
If you care about keeping your MVP status and being "plugged in" to Microsoft then yeah Windows might make sense (WSL is very good these days). Otherwise I'd just get a Mac - most of the time you don't need the grunt but it comes in real handy for video editing (not to mention running local LLM). As an engineer I love Thinkpad with Linux - it's great for engineer activities but not when you need other non-work stuff like video editing, driver support as you saw. At least if you buy the Mac you can write off the cost against tax. I can understand you not wanting to eat into that buffer, it is a very bad time for work right now, even contracting/freelance. What you said at the end is right: as a content creator you are stuck for only Mac or Windows, unfortunately Linux doesn't work well yet.
God that meme
I know tinkering about audio on Linux is super super annoying but have you looked at audio interface alternatives that are compatible with Linux? Especially with the new arm based snapdragon laptops coming out I'm really intrigued about going full Linux, even for content creation. But I understand that if you're doing this professionally, too much fussing around to get simple things working can be really annoying (& costly).
The fussing and tinkering is great as a hobby but at some point it can be a real blocker for creative output. I did not look into alternatives because I already have a $500 dollar audio interface. Had I known about this limitation I might have considered a different one. However, this interface is hands down the best match for the microphone I have.
Me personally never own a company laptop, because i just dont want to. And if company isn't okay with me using my own laptop i just ask for a virtual ec2 with linux and work ssh from it, still using my own laptop :)
I have to use MacOS for my work and I absolutely hate it. The UI is so damn unintuivitve. Window management is an absolute nightmare. I don't know why people say Apple products are so easy to use and intuivitve. The poorly designed colored buttons for window sizing for example work different depending on application.
What is your preferred os?
I suggest you give Komorebi a shot as well (window manager)
I liked glaze wm more than komorebi... Until the most recent 1.26 release. Will see what the glazewm rewrite results in!
I'm looking to replace my MacBook with a different laptop running two systems (Linux for programming) and (Windows for gaming).
Which laptops do you suggest?
MacBook + Gaming pc. Just joking, I'm not up to date with the latest Windows laptops, sorry.
I feel like if you need a good laptop, macos is pretty much the only option right now. Apple Silicons are just too good.
snapdragon x elite just came out
@@botbot3698 Yeah, but it doesn't have any software support. It will probably take a few years before it gets actually usable.
Mac is terrible when it comes to right to repair. It is ok until it breaks. Windows will become too bad with the the new recall feauture
Totally agree, I don't like the fact that I can't swap out parts or that I have to pay almost 1000 euros for some extra memory.
And good for you to think Mac is so, so good; I have quite the opposite opinion. IMO, only Linux is so, so good!
It is! Until you need to share your screen or connect audio equipment
