"But I don't want to use Linux and don't have money for Mac!"I know, I know. Linux is not that friendly for home users or gamers, and Mac hardware is quite expensive (though if you compare to similar specifications Windows laptops, actually really close). But there is a way. I present to you... Virtual Machines! Now, whatever operating system you're using, you can install Linux OS within your OS. And I will tell you more - it's absolutely easy. With Laravel Homestead. Actually, there are several things to be installed, but as a result - you will have not only Linux environment, but also all server software to run your web-projects there. As I switched quite recently myself, I agree that there is some learning curve here, and some stuff to configure here and there, and something might not work out of the box, but hey - as a result, you will be one of the cool guys! I'm joking, of course, it's not about being cool, it's about being a professional developer - and Linux is a part of LAMP stack, whether you want it or not. Final argument from Laravel world - have you ever watched Laracasts videos? Jeffrey Way uses Terminal for all of his lessons and it makes the result so simple that it's hard to find an argument not to use it. Same for any video by Taylor Otwell, creator of Laravel himself. Have you ever seen them using Windows?
