Curious about your dev environment

Hi everyone. I've always developed on my Mac using Valet or Homestead but I'm seeing more and more people just use Linux to install a dev environment and work there.

I'm just curious... tell me about your dev setup.

I use docker on Ubuntu 20.04 using "laravel served". I also have a windows 10 pc set up with the same config (wsl2 with Ubuntu 20.04)

@chrisf79 macOS user. We use Docker in my day job, but I still prefer Homestead for personal projects due to Docker’s awful performance on macOS.

Bitnami wampstack, WIndows 10, Netbeans 12, Sublime. I also have eclipse ide, but not for php.

I’m on Mac and have homestead with vagrant and more recent projects on ‘laravel served’ on docker.

PhpStorm for the iDE.
