macOS vs Chrome OS
Developers should learn macOS for building native applications for Apple devices, using development tools like Xcode, and for its Unix-like environment that supports command-line workflows and scripting meets developers should learn chrome os for building and testing web applications, especially pwas, and for understanding cloud-first development environments, as it provides a secure, sandboxed platform ideal for web development workflows. Here's our take.
macOS
Developers should learn macOS for building native applications for Apple devices, using development tools like Xcode, and for its Unix-like environment that supports command-line workflows and scripting
macOS
Nice PickDevelopers should learn macOS for building native applications for Apple devices, using development tools like Xcode, and for its Unix-like environment that supports command-line workflows and scripting
Pros
- +It is essential for iOS and macOS app development, as well as for cross-platform development targeting Apple platforms
- +Related to: xcode, swift
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Chrome OS
Developers should learn Chrome OS for building and testing web applications, especially PWAs, and for understanding cloud-first development environments, as it provides a secure, sandboxed platform ideal for web development workflows
Pros
- +It is also useful for creating educational or enterprise solutions where low-cost, easy-to-manage devices are needed, and for exploring Linux development via its built-in Linux (Beta) environment, which supports tools like Docker and VS Code
- +Related to: progressive-web-apps, linux
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use macOS if: You want it is essential for ios and macos app development, as well as for cross-platform development targeting apple platforms and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Chrome OS if: You prioritize it is also useful for creating educational or enterprise solutions where low-cost, easy-to-manage devices are needed, and for exploring linux development via its built-in linux (beta) environment, which supports tools like docker and vs code over what macOS offers.
