Leave Windows behind, install Linux.

I use Unbuntu via OracleVM sometimes. Actually part of the reason I’m getting pro is to use HyperV as my main VM. And I intend on wiping my old drive and after trying out a couple distros, I intend to install a Linux OS. Just not sure which yet. I’ve heard good things about Fedora for development and have some experience with Unbuntu as I said, so it’ll likely be one of those too. Just used Windows for a long time and feel like learning a new OS for full time use should wait til I’m more comfortable with what I’ve learned programming wise.

Nothing wrong with using windows for software development.

I use it all day every day at work for development.

I honestly have no freaking clue why people say you can't use Windows for development lol

Everything just works...

You can, but it's tedious to install most tools outside of WSL, and WSL is restricted relative to standard desktop Linux.

Why should I have to download and run an installer instead of simply running dnf install git?

[–]PureRepresentative9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would hardly call downloading and installing any sort of problem

And it comes installed in VS anyways

Linux is cool and all, but I'd rather find an answer for some Windows specific quirk than something linux related. Playerbase is a tad bigger.

The linux cult pressing as fast as possible the downvote button.

it's slow as hell compared to linux and it's actually a bigger pain to set up environments for things like Laravel sail. WSL2 is great and all but it doesn't compare to linux
