Heard that NVidia does not allow Apple machines as part of hardware given to developers? Please tell me at least they allow to use Linux?
You can get a Mac if they want you enough. And yes, Linux is fine.
Weirdly, though, their graphics cards are all from AMD.
Yeah, latest Apple MacBook Pro no longer has Nvidia cards
x86 like the rest of us
Windows systems are standard, Linux is fine too. Depends on the team and what you need to work on
Thanks. Honest question, how do you write code in Windows machines? I suppose you can choose Linux from very beginning supported by IT or is it being your own machine style?
You write code on Windows machines the same way you do on Linux - with your hands/ fingers hammering away at the keyboard
Can engineer has working laptop with Nvidia GPU and Linux ?
Not sure what your hang up on windows is, but yes you can have Linux, but some internal things may not work. So it depends on the team you are in to see if that matters. You can use a mac too, but you need VP approval if you want the company to pay for it.
Just hate Windows for development that's all.
Only team I know that uses Mac is the Mac driver team. We haven't had a Mac design win in years so no idea what that team is up to now.
There are a few linux teams that give you a PC and a list of tools you need and let you pick the OS :)
In my team, Company provides a laptop(dell/levono) with windows (we use outlook for email communication) and desktop(dell or assembled) with Linux(we can install either windows or Ubuntu linux). We use local desktop machine or buildservers to build code , and gpu farm for deep learning. Apple products are not listed in standard machines in NVIDIA anymore but I heard that they were listed 3-5 years ago. With approval, getting apple products are possible but its process may be complicated.
I have seen some people using modern MacBook pros, but I don't know what team they're on.
Mac team and architects/folks who work with Apple or pitch to Apple. I've also seen people bring their own macs to work and remote to their desktop or the farm machines to do actual work.
