macOS

ThinkPad P14s is a compact workstation laptop I used as an experiment in running Hyprland with NixOS before ultimately returning to macOS as my primary OS on the M1 Macbook Pro 16.

Omarchy is a much hyped Linux distro by DHH who has a distaste for macOS. It is based on Arch Linux and uses Hyprland.

Whilst I can live with, for example, monitor webcam & speakers not working, I cannot tolerate software crashing! Thus, I’m content to be back on macOS with my trusty old M1 Macbook Pro 16.

Update (Jan, 2025): macOS is fine, if you don’t buy into the Apple ecosystem. https://x.com/sridca/status/1878962756290068705

The MacBook Pro M1 Max (16 inch) is my primary computer running macOS.

If you are feeling adventurous consider getting acquainted with Nix, which in turns allows you to leverage haskell-template for bootstraping Haskell projects with full IDE support in VSCode. This works on Linux, macOS and Windows (via WSL) without having to install dependencies other than Nix itself. In my opinion, this is the best way to set up a Haskell development environment if you are willing to approach the learning curve of Nix with alacrity.

Notes from last attempt to get it working on macOS:
