The sad part is that it's even worse when using windows. The only thing I've got working without too much yak-shaving was node, but anything devops-y is a pain including vagrant, otto and even the package manager (chocolately)
That's funny because I run almost everything smoothly (Vagrant, Node (grunt, bower, ...), Python, Chocolatey and now Meteor), on my Intel Atom NETBOOK. It's not perfect. Can get laggy, but works just fine must log the time.
That said, I think I'll jump on the Linux bandwagon very soon.
I worked that way for two years. It doesn't really matter if everything works smoothly under Vagrant if every day you want to kill yourself at your desk because you can't run an Vagrant and a browser at the same time without bringing the system to its knees.
Sounds like I'm doing something very wrong then. I have a corp-issued windows 7 laptop. Any advice or resources for how I should be setting up my machine? (Chocolately isn't installing properly at the moment)
