    Its called Linux Mint. Easier to install than windows, significantly cheaper, and frankly easier to configure.

        Apparently it was wasting time trying to circumvent a product built to steal IP and invade privacy. Every update will reset any customisations and plenty have ignored group policy. Microsoft are implemtning access controls that will also remove the ability to customise as deep as you have been (kernel level protection) so bye bye admin rights.

        You want a declarative operating system? NixOS. It will change how you approach templating and the standard environment.

        Its config language and structure doco is annoyingly lacking but the community fills the gap with the added benefit of everyone sharing configs. Its also 2024, Linux is vastly different than it used to be. Hell nvidia is stepping up because cloud AIs…

      One problem: not compatible with Windows. Of course you can use Wine and similar stuff, but isn’t 100%, especially not when you’re developing for Windows. Also there’s the issue of NVidia drivers (I won’t sell/throw into the trash my GTX1050 just because NVidia doesn’t want to make their drivers open source), and also a lot of pro audio stuff isn’t available on Linux.

        Love how you cherry picked a bunch of old news not relevant . Its 2024, not 2003.

        Development experience in linux is significantly better. Get off the cult and join the overwhelming majority industry which is built on it. Your skills and IP will be better off and protected for it.

        If the microsoft product teams can develop on macbooks you bet your arse you can develop for any platform on Linux, and frankly most cloud platform preference opensource. Skill issue.

          No thanks, I don’t want to spend days troubleshooting issues with cross compilation, differences between Wine and actual Windows, struggling with the tty-only debugger (I want my debugger to do things on button presses, not by complicated scripts), etc.

          Skill issue.

          Oh, here comes the gatekeeper protecting their operating system from the “normies”!🤣

            Lol “days”

            .net can compile just fine without it. Or choose one of the far more popular non Microsoft languages that wont have the problems expected simply because vendor lock in. If you are developing on .net your code is obselete with 15 vulnerabilities the day you release.

            Skill issues.

            Step away from the coolaid, take a step back and explore the industry at large

        especially not when you’re developing for Windows.

        Well, obviously. Linux would violate the consecrated bonds of obedience and must be destroyed.

        Also there’s the issue of NVidia drivers

        Yeah there’s that.

        and also a lot of pro audio stuff isn’t available on Linux.

        Mmmm yes and no, but wow you’re wedged in there good, huh. Well . . be safe!
