That sounds fantastic, I can Google but do you have a link? I love Ubuntu for my servers!

I use Mint and Centos as much as my OSX system. This is a configured environment for development, not much else but it works fantastically.

My latest Linux build sits in my music studio and I record and edit audio for production.

I think your conclusion is invalid and specious, but it's an opinion.

This is a great read, thank you for your documented experience here. I'm very interested in trying this as my OSX is already rocking a good tmux/vi setup.

I do fiddle with modern react and JS, any issues with JS compatibility on that browser? I enjoy Mint in an ASUS laptop, but memory and hardware issues do arise.

For me this depends on what I'm working on, and these days my unit tests are generally for API regression. When I'm writing my APIs, generally my "integration" test would simply involve an external request and assertions of the response. This is fantastic for testing what a client expects, not as good at specific units of business logic where regression can be rather expensive. I would agree many folks take unit testing too far, but in some cases it's saved my neck at a pretty small cost of creation.

This is probably not the same story for something like a react or swift application. Good read, thanks for the solid points.
