    So I Finally Tried Linux (As A Developer)

    A Mac developer shares their experience transitioning to Linux for software development by setting up Ubuntu in a virtual machine. The setup includes the i3 tiling window manager, Polybar menu bar, and various terminal tools like Wezterm, Neovim, and Zsh with plugins. While ARM architecture limitations caused some compatibility issues with apps like Spotify, the experience highlighted Linux's superior customization and control compared to macOS. The author plans to continue using Linux for development work and eventually transition to a dedicated x86 machine.
