I took the plunge and swtiched to Linux, cold turkey. I kinda like it, It's stable and you get a sense of control, which I haven't felt with Windows since XP. And it doesn't constantly ask for a bloody who-gives-a-crap update. It's a lot more of a hassle to work with than Windows, though. I had to ask google how to delete a folder today I'm getting off topic here from the get go...
I really liked Code Composer Studio. It had it's flaws and stuff, but I really like the everything being in one place type of deal. Really convenient.
And after installing CCS, I found out that my MSP430G2553 launchpad is not supported And If I look up an article for this issue, it's like 10 pages long and involves jumping through a lot of hoops. Which I have in no way interest in. I find it difficult enough to code the MCU alone.
So, what do Linux users do, who play with MCU?
Bear in mind, I am not above buying a new type, or different brand of MCU, as long as I get good (amateur level) software to follow it.
