MacOS Catalina: Slow by Design?

Re:MacOS Catalina: Slow by Design? by jcadam on Friday May 22, 2020 @12:21PM (#23273740)

I switched from MacOS to Linux years ago. For a developer workstation these days I'd probably either go with Ubuntu LTS or Fedora (my personal choice). Either runs fine on my XPS 13.

Note: I really wanted to like WSL, but it just didn't work for me.

Have you looked into WSL2?

I just recently switched from Mac OS to windows and it really hasn’t been a bad experience.

I would go full Linux but the drivers for the GPU on my laptop seem to be a bit of a mess currently.

GPU switching (NVIDIA Optimus and the like) seems to be a major headache to get working on Linux. My current laptop (XPS 13) only has an integrated GPU, so I ssh into a desktop for running CUDA stuff.

But no, haven't tried WSL2, I'm comfortable with my Linux setup so not to keen on messing with it at the moment :)
