I guess you missed the latest news about those devices with 20 hour battery life and the performance of a Intel device weighing twice as much :-)


I doubt anyone would need to work anywhere near 20 hours without being connected at all. The vast majority of people work on desks with plugs.

I don't know why doing development in Linux is a unpopular opinion.

I've been using Linux on my workstation and laptop for the past 20 odd years and I very much prefer it to the MacOS environment on the company issued Macbook.


Doing development in Linux is not an unpopular opinion.

People who do develop in Linux telling everyone else to develop in Linux because not developing in Linux is Wrong and Bad, however, tends to be unpopular.
