Debian in WSL is my single favorite thing about Windows work laptop. Real tools! 😃

I’m back on windows for work after a decade away, and all the reasons I left are still there. The tools are still lacking, the layout is non-sensical, prototyping requires expensive subscriptions, and it’s not designed to get work done.

*nixes and macOS, to a lesser extent, are much nicer. The *nixes are designed to get work done. I have my gripes, but good lord they’re small comparatively.

Agreed.

Vim/Neovim and Spacemacs (Emacs) are so much more addictive than NPP.

JetBrains Rider is probably the best C# IDE for Linux, and MS ported .NET server stuff a while ago.

I’m not sure about C# GUI toolkits on Linux. WPF isn’t there, and I’m not sure how mature Maui is on Linux.

Debian.

Dell Latitudes and Precisions support Linux pretty well.

Git repos of some helpful scripts and configs.

Music.

Profile backup.

They also just bought an Ad network, so can’t get ad revenue if they can’t track people.

Or $HOME/.var/log.

There is a .local folder these days.

Profile roaming hasn’t been solved aside from NFS mounts. I guess Syncthing might work.

Why would go have a virtual environment or dep tree like node_modules equivalent, it’s not interpreted or dynamically linked.

With modules, dependencies can be vendored.

Yeah, it was SourceForge and SVN.

You use Linux because cuz Linux is good.

I use Linux because the BSDs are less popular. I want to get paid and have corporate applications on my desktop.

We are not the same. 😂

That’s not a bad strategy. Just gotta add some leftist politics to the mix.

It can be. It depends on the extension dev.

Armed revolt it is. Pizza first though?🍕

65 to match Social Security.

Not really. He posts under his own name, so I recognized it from the forums.

He’ll have more time to spend on the Phoronix forums now. 🙂
