What OS / platform are you using to run CODEX?

Question

It seems like a lot of users are using MacOS desktop and having a great experience. Others running CLI, VScode on windows, and others doing the same on Linux, occasionally with a DIY front-end. Curious what other set ups people have and what their main issues are, and what else they've tried.

I'm running the Windows desktop app, but apparently there are huge issues with sandbox with patches failing or taking a really long time to execute. There's a few github issues open about this but little action from OpenAI. I ran Sol Xhigh for like 25% usage and it can't find a solution on my end but did diagnose the issue. As part of my general question, I'm curious about how Windows users are doing - are some not experiencing the bug? Seems like it might hint to a solution, or maybe people are not aware of the bug and just thing the models are super super slow. I took out the guardrails for now cause I'm a crazy person and everything is running great (till Sol decides to do something insane).

Anyway, just looking for a discussion about platforms
