Tired of Windows, please help me Dual Boot

[rward]

Still not getting a SASS compiler like i want. Not sure how to really use sass in the command line to watch the dir entirely

I think it's sass -w directory -o file.css

But you should be able to sass -h to get command line options. Or man sass or this guy, Larry Page, created a company called Google. The have an awesome service that people use to find things out.

Don't apt-get install ruby -use something like rvm instead. It should take 10 minutes to Google and about an hour to setup. Do it in a vm until you get it right.

I'm on windows so won't be able to do apt-get in any case.

Ah,I thought you'd done the dual boot/vm thing

Thor i'm in the same boat. We wana try all this new things,and the setup is mostly for mac. There are windows workarounds for things,but as u stated front end is your thing. Windows is still fine for it,but i think mac is just more convenient with all these tools we can use for frontend,and setting it up is much easier .

I fully agree and start to see it now. I see now why a mac will end up having a fundamental place in my budget this year.

Yeah oneday i'm also going to go mac, i actually checked out the mac mini,i will either go for that or a 2nd hand laptop and run it of my own 27inch monitor. The pricetag for a new mac nowadays SJOH just too much moola's.

Not to mention the integration in real world. EVERYONE uses Office in our world.

Most of my php devs refuse to use MS office on their windows boxes and run Libre instead, you clearly know nothing about it.
While Im at it why dont you just install ubuntu server or similar in a VM on your laptop and use that for you linux requirements, there is no need for graphical desktop.

Yea it's ridiculous.

I am going to get a second hand one.

Why won't I know nothing about it?

We used it for 5 years and then chucked it out because it's k@k.

No idea what php devs has to do with this argument in the first place. Then again php devs do weird shiat in general so doesn't surprise me

And there is a need for a graphical desktop when doing frontend!

Use a tool like grunt, gulp, webpack etc to run a watch task which runs a sass task

I'm playing around with gulp at the moment and its pretty neat.
I can definitely vouch for this.

Again, I find Brackets to be so much better than SublimeText.
Sublime is annoying AF with the pop up every few minutes.

I'm fine with brackets

As far as I remember, the sublime popup doesn't block the main window, so a lot of people just move it off screen.
