I won’t be limited by Bash-on-Windows-limitations because of this.

Local will handle all configuration for me, and better! (see below) While there is not yet a Windows version, it has been announced, so going ahead with this, Local will solve some issues.

RBA can write to the Windows file if Bash is ran elevated as Administrator but that would compromise security. Microsoft suggested using a third-party file-sync application… Right… Moving on! Sym-linking or hardlinking from Windows to Bash or the other way round just gets you in a heap of troubles, up to a point that Bash on Windows will not start-up anymore. In Windows with WSL, two files need to be maintained /etc/hosts and c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts.

How is this last item important? well, in macOS, writing to /etc/hosts as super-user works perfectly, for command-line tools as well as the macOS GUI apps. The Bash hosts file (/etc/hosts) is NOT used in Windows. The Windows hosts file (c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts) is NOT used by Bash on Windows.

There is no chaining of Windows software to Linux software and vice-versa (which in macOS is not a problem AT ALL).

There is no GUI support in WSL only command-line is available.

Running the bash prompt as Administrator allows you to edit windows system files from Bash, but makes the Bash-user a Windows-system-admin without the protection that Bash provides.

sudo in Bash will not elevate you to system-admin, just Bash superuser.

While Microsoft keeps telling it is not a virtual machine (and that is correct), the integration is less than perfect you, the Bash user, are still boxed in. Let me elaborate WSL is Linux on Windows. Now, this last part is something that is troublesome under WSL. The script here being the RBA.sh script which, in a nutshell generate VirtualHost entries for Apache2 and set the domain/ip relation in the hosts file. In earlier posts, starting with this one, a long journey is documented to create a fully functional development environment and an as-universal-as-possible script to maintain it, leaving you, the developer, with nothing to do other than I originally did repeat it, but it was a bit much :P. I will not repeat the ‘by Flywheel’ part. This software I’m talking about is re-branded and now free, and soon(-ish) available for Windows I’m talking aboutįrom here, Local with capital L is Local (by Flywheel). Recently a pre-existing piece of software emerged from relative obscurity (emphasis on ‘relative’) which is pushing me a fair distance toward a switch back to Windows. This is becoming a rant… Sorry! :) Back to the topic at hand.

Mac mini then? with Intel Iris Graphics, 16GB RAM limit? No thank you! The new iMac’s are slow, unless one buys the biggest, largest, most expensive version, and the MacBook Pros, well, we’ve discussed that.

The 2010 MacBook pro is running on it’s last legs, the 2011 iMac is in urgent need of replacement. I still dislike windows, but unless Tim Cook gets a bonk on the head and starts to rethink his decisions, I probably will not be developing on a Mac for much longer.

Since the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Windows offers Bash and all goodness that comes with Ubuntu linux, right at your fingertips. Reasons to stay with macOS are rapidly diminishing, and reasons to start using Windows again are gaining support. Don’t know why, but it runs so much better on a discrete GPU than it does on intel Graphics) (Yeah, I know, I KNOW, I don’t need ‘awesome graphics’ for web development, but I like to game also, and to be honest my favorite IDE – phpStorm – DOES prefer a sturdy GPU. This one has other issues, but at least it has got awesome graphics (nVidia 980), max 64 GB RAM and a “normal” laptop keyboard.

For the same amount of money you can buy a portable powerhouse like the Asus ROG G752vy (seen in my post about this). Great for thinning the device, but again, not “Pro”. The keyboard is ultra thin and has good tactile feedback, but the keys need a firm press, and travel almost nothing. A 16GB memory limit (which with the compression tech used is like 24GB for any other OS) is great for battery life, but it’s not “Pro”. Surely intel graphics are enough for typing letters and calculating spreadsheets, it’s not Pro. While the new Macbook Pro is quite a feet of engineering, it is hardly “Pro”.

Microsoft integrating Bash into Windows 10 with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

Apple going for thinner, lighter instead of stronger performance, and.

A multitude of recent developments have aided me to make a choice.
