Macbook for coding - eviltoast

Hello everyone!😁

Is a M1 (8gb RAM, 256gb storage) 13" macbook air good enough for coding?

This will be my first macbook, so I don’t know yet how I’ll like it. Would it run Linux (maybe Windows too) aside from ios? I’ve heard that it needs some workarounds. Would there be limitations running Linux?

🙂

    8gigs is not enough for coding imo. I had a m1 pro with 32 and running multiple chrome windows + 2 instances of pycharm and some other stuff it easily went to 20gigs of ram. You probably won’t have this need but you should get 16 at least.
