I’m considering installing Linux on my laptop but I’m unsure if I should start with a virtual machine first. My main use cases are gaming and coding, so I want to make sure it’s the right fit.
What are the pros and cons of using Linux for someone like me? Would starting with VirtualBox be a good idea before going all in?
Coding is absolutely miserable on Windows compared to Linux. I’ve been developing almost exclusively in Linux for the past twenty years. Nothing beats the command line for getting shit done; a split screen between a terminal and Sublime Text is my go-to setup.
Sounds intriguing. Could you send some screenshots or point me in the direction where I can learn some tips and tricks, so to speak?
A screenshot would add nothing. Terminal on the left side, Sublime Text on the right. Learn how to use git and gdb from the command line.
