Both the hardware as well as the software have served me well. They recognized that trying to apply desktop computing paradigms to mobile devices wouldn’t work well. iOS wasn’t designed for laptops and workstations; it was designed for mobile devices. Apple and VMware…or Xen? The only constant is change.

Although I stopped the migration in August 2017, I restarted it in April 2018 when I left VMware to join Heptio. Readers may recall that I was using a Dell Latitude E7370 (see my E7370 hardware review ) up until August 2017, when I put the Linux migration on hold indefinitely due to productivity concerns. What’s not working well?
