    After a month or so running mainly Linux (still have to use hackintosh for audio stuff), I should've made the switch sooner.

    So nice to use the regular shell instead of the Mac version (fdisk instead of diskutil, arguments in whatever order, etc), using apt instead of dumb ass Homebrew, and not having to fight with the mac version (sshfs for example) of certain tools.

    Like I mentioned previously, most everything I need runs on it. Android Studio, obviously everything web related, Blender, Unity (mostly, kinda), and even got my audio interface working.

    Also, learned about some pretty cool VM technology that will let you install Windows in a VM, and pass the GPU directly through for gaming. In other words, you can game in a VM just like you would as if it were your main OS.

    I was originally going to install Windows as a main OS, with Linux in a VM. Think I'm gonna go the other around though now.
