MCP with Ubuntu

3 points by Elbouyave 10 hours ago

Hello new comer here,

MCP are a pain in the ass on windows, do you know if dualbooting my laptop with Ubuntu would be a viable solution to be able to build and run MCP ?

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "MCP" ?

If you mean Model Context Protocol, then the relevant GitHub repository certainly suggests that any Linux environment would be suitable for development.

In my experience both Windows and MacOS have constraints which require additional effort to work around. I'm lazy and choose the easiest path: Debian on desktop system.

At the point where dual booting seems like a solution, a second laptop for the specific task might be an easier alternative. Because dual booting often creates a lot of duplicate efforts. For example configuring browsers and email etc.

Or a Virtual Machine. Or WSL. Good luck.

    Unfortunetly I don't have the financial situation to buy a second laptop.

    I don't really know a lot about Linux yet but I was wondering if it could be a better idea to fresh restart with only Ubuntu.

    Would it be more practical ?
