Move GitHub actions to Linux
According to About billing for GitHub Actions the macOS minute costs 10 units. Given that a single build + tests take 6 min this is 60 units for a single check. This gives us 33 runs per month.
With PyTests (tests written in Python) + PyTests in release mode we will easily push above 10 min (100 units per run -> 20 runs per month).
On linux single minute costs 1 unit -> 333 runs (or 200 with PyTests).
Additional benefits:
- no Xcode on linux -> no tests for Ariel, but also no errors when Xcode version changes (this already happened in the past)
- I sometimes forget to check linux builds, this will automate the whole thingy
Running on Linux may take less time, but you don't need to worry about billing unless this repository is public. The billing policy is adapted only for private repositories.
