Linux + ARM laptop: good enough for programming? Or should I get a MacBook?
  • Refurbished ARM-based MacBook Air will be suitable as long as you get 16 or 32 GB configuration. Anything under 16 is unusable with docker, a browser, an IDE, and LSP running at the same time.

    ARM-based Macs can run Linux thanks to Asahi Linux.

    But I love and use Mac OS. It’s really good for development work.

  • Ready to make the move from VSCode w/ Neovim emulator to Neovim proper. Need some recommendations please

    Hello, I’m a developer wanting to change from VSCode to Neovim. I’ve been using a Neovim extension for VSCode, so I know how to drive it to some extent.

    I work with:

    • Rust
    • Typescript
    • React

    I’m happy to use default NVim mostly with:

    • ctags
    • ins-completion
    • netrwtreelisting

    I want to keep things really simple and use defaults when reasonable.

    I basically just want to know how to set up Rust analyser and (for ts) prettier/eslint.

    Questions:

    • Should I use a nvim conf file or lua? I’m happy to learn Lua if it’s recommended.
    • If I need packages for the above functionality, which package manager is best (excuse the imprecise terminology)?
    • Any additional recommendations?

    Thank you.
