It depends on what kind of “coding” you’re talking about. If you want to do some python, c/c++/rust it may be enough. If you’re planning to do full stack dev on Java and all the javascript framework hell you could end in some trouble if working on heavy projects, mainly because of the 8 gigs of ram
Would it run Linux
There is an experimental linux distribution far apple silicon processors called “asahi” linux, but it’s still in development.
maybe Windows too
You could run Windows ARM in a virtual machine but… Why on earth would you do that?
I’m a Java / Spring developer considering to buy a new macbook. Can you give me more info on this problem? Thank you!
