I've been wanting to get into building a TUI but can't decide which library to pick.
Disclaimer: my project
I've tried Inference Endpoints and Replicate, but both would cost more than just using the OpenAI offering.
Relevant only if you want to get some exposure to european investors though.
It took me a couple of hours just to install all the latest updates/drivers/bios updates. The Lenovo provided "updater" software is just horrible. The windows UX actually feels nice for me, just need to get used to it. Setting up development environment has been a struggle though. Linux subsystem feels super slow and the lack of good terminal makes it even worse. Upcoming WSL 2 update and the new terminal should improve this though but I wouldn't hold my breath.
In conclusion - I'm not recommending switching to windows. There's basically nothing that feels better than on Macs, except that the laptop itself was a lot cheaper.
EDIT: + I'm really impressed that I can still sell the old macbook for like 600€. The ThinkPad will probably depreciate in value a lot more.
