What Hacker News says
5 sourcesYou might enjoy https://github.com/jessfraz/dotfiles/blob/master/.dockerfunc I think she had an article about this as well.
In Toolship: A more secure workstationI got a new MacBook Pro from work a couple of months ago, and decided to try a scaled back version of this. You can’t reasonably run graphical apps in Docker on MacOS, but most of the CLI tools that I would install via HomeBrew can be run in Docker. I took the same approach that Jess did, and set up a a shell alias for these commands. That way I run the command the way I would normally run it from Terminal.app, but the app isn’t installed at all on my host.
To be clear: I have no real reason to do this, other than to just see how it works. It’s nice to know that if I got a new machine tomorrow, all of the CLI stuff I need is defined in some Dockerfiles and bash aliases, and could be reinstalled pretty quickly. There are other ways to do that, but it’s a fun experiment. In practice, there’s really very little noticeable overhead to running

things this way on modern hardware, but I’m also not running things in tight loops where that overhead would matter.
If you’re curious at all about this, Jess has a couple of Github repos worth looking at:
https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles/

Specifically, her aliases are set up here: https://github.com/jessfraz/dotfiles/blob/master/.dockerfunc
I do. Actually I got into i3 because of the poor performance of my laptop at work (I do NodeJs/Springboot development btw).
I must run Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 now) in a VM on a Windows 7 host and with Gnome it was too memory hungry and the UI was freezing quite often.
I feel very productive with it and I use the mouse way less than I used to.
I liked it so much that at home I also do development on Arch Linux (also in a VM) and also use i3. My i3 config is in private git repo. Nothing fancy like I see on reddit.com/r/unixporn with i3 gaps. I basically copied almost all the config from https://github.com/jessfraz/dotfiles
In Ubuntu 18.04: Unity is gone, Gnome is back, and Ubuntu has never been better
